Celtic skipper Scott Brown will face no action over his clash with Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos during Saturday's Old Firm derby.

Ibrox boss Pedro Caixinha was left seething after his side's 2-0 defeat on Saturday as he accused the Hoops midfielder of aiming an elbow at his player.

The incident occurred seconds before the interval as Brown backed into Morelos before brushing the striker off with his left arm.

It led to Caixinha confronting Brown nose-to-nose as the teams made their way down the tunnel at half-time.

Referee Craig Thomson did not even blow for a foul and now Scottish Football Association compliance officer Tony McGlennan has decided there were no incidents warranting disciplinary action during Saturday's game.

Caixinha warned Brown he would have sorted him out had he been on the pitch, saying: "I was angry at half-time, did you see it?"

"It's the second time it happened, it was the same in April. I saw an elbow from Brown and I told the fourth official - but the referee let it go.

"He was coming off and I told him, 'You do that, but if I was on the pitch you wouldn't'. I wouldn't have allowed him to put his elbow in my face."

Caixinha added: "If someone does nothing I have to defend my club, my players and the truth of the game.

"It's the referee's decision. If he doesn't think it's an action to get booked or sent off, it's his decision. I need to respect it.

"If I was a player and I had to face Brown or players like him, it would be a different thing. It was a shame that I couldn't play because I know the mentality I have."

The defeat saw Rangers slip to fifth in the table, eight points behind league leaders Celtic.
