New Celtic signing Nadir Ciftci will miss the first six matches of the season after he was found guilty of biting an opponent.
The summer signing from Dundee United received an eight-game ban – two of which are suspended – after being found guilty of biting Jim McAlister during a Dundee derby on the final day of last season.
The 23-year-old Turkish striker had denied the offence but was found guilty of excessive misconduct by a judicial panel convened by the Scottish Football Association.
Ciftci’s first domestic game of the season will be Aberdeen’s September visit to Parkhead.
