Dolly Menga will be banned for two matches after the SFA offered him a suspension for his headbutt on Ryan Christie.

The Angolan frontman will miss Livingston's games against Rangers and Motherwell after the incident during Sunday's 0-0 draw at the Tony Macaroni Arena with the club accepting the ban.

Menga clashed with Christie during the first half of the game but referee Kevin Clancy failed to spot the incident and only spoke to both players.

The duo were waiting for a corner to be taken when they went head-to-head and Christie couldn't believe that no action was taken against the Livingston forward.

The Celtic star said: “We want to cut that kind of thing out of football completely and rightly so. If the officials have seen something then it’s surprising that he (Menga) has not been shown a red card. There was no build-up to it or anything like that and it just came out of nowhere.

“It took me by surprise and it took me a few seconds to realise he has just put the head on me.

“The referee called us both over which made me think he’d seen something as there was nothing else to be seen other than that.

“I thought he’d seen something because he gave him (Menga) a right talking to but no action was taken.

“The referee told us both to calm down and told Menga especially to calm down and that he was watching him, which kind of suggested it was more him than me that was up to something.

“I’ve seen it back and it comes out of nowhere. It was a strange one. There’s always pushing and shoving like that at corners and free-kicks. That’s part of the game now so I didn’t really think he had much reason to do something like that. I was never going to go rolling down on the ground because it didn’t hurt me.

“It will be interesting to see what happens now and if they do anything.”
