Celtic hit out at the SFA over Looven's.

Celtic have accused the Scottish Football
Association's disciplinary process of being "disparate and arbitrary"
following the decision to uphold Glenn Loovens' ban for his challenge
on Maurice Edu.
Hoops manager Tony Mowbray reacted to the news Loovens had lost
his appeal over the matter by saying: "We accept that and move on."
But, 24 hours later, the club insisted they were "justified" in
challenging the decision and suggested they were being unfairly
targeted by the SFA, who they claim have ignored similar incidents
involving other teams.
Loovens, 25, was suspended by the SFA's disciplinary committee
after they reviewed footage which appeared to show the Holland
international flicking a boot at Edu during the May 9 Old Firm derby at
Ibrox.
He was punished with a one-match ban and had 12 points added to
his 2008-09 disciplinary points total for "misconduct of a
significantly serious nature".
He appealed against the decision but on Thursday lost that
verdict and will now miss Saturday's Clydesdale Bank Premier League
game against Motherwell.
As well as the Loovens case, the SFA also reviewed a Scott
McDonald challenge on Dundee United's Lee Wilkie but the Hoops striker
was cleared of any wrongdoing.
A Celtic spokesperson said: "The club still awaits
clarification from the Scottish Football Association in terms of the
process followed with regards to this case and other incidents.
"We have written to the SFA on two occasions, the first time
over a month ago, to ascertain the criteria for referring incidents to
the SFA Review Panel.
"We have received no substantive response on this issue so far
and the procedure by which Glenn Loovens and Scott McDonald were
referred for review remains unclear.
"Therefore, we still do not understand the procedure by which
Glenn Loovens and Scott McDonald were referred for review and other
similar incidents in recent months have not been. The process seems to
be disparate and arbitrary.
"Our objective is to ensure that these processes are applied
fairly, consistently and in a transparent manner, for the benefit of
all clubs and players.
"We will continue to pursue this objective and look forward to hearing from the SFA shortly."
Loovens' case did expose serious flaws in the SFA's disciplinary process.
Despite his clash with Edu taking place more than five months
ago, he was not found guilty until the disciplinary committee met on
August 7.
His appeal freed him to play in injury-hit Celtic's opening SPL
game of the season at Aberdeen and it took the SFA more than two months
to reconvene on the matter.
The SFA confirmed they will respond to Celtic's concerns,
pointing out they were unable to do so until the Loovens case had
concluded.
A spokesperson said: "We received their communication but we couldn't respond while the Glenn Loovens case was ongoing.
"We will be responding to Celtic in due course."
