Alexandro Bernabei 'to avoid' Celtic ban after headbutt suspension is cleared

Alexandro Bernabei 'to avoid' Celtic ban after headbutt suspension is cleared

CELTIC new boy Alexandro Bernabei will reportedly not face a ban upon his arrival to Scottish football.

The 21-year-old signed for the Hoops last week following a £3.75million move from Lanus in Argentina.

During the left-back's last game for his old club, he was sent off for an apparent headbutt incident versus Colon.

This sparked uncertainty over whether a two-game suspension would carry over to Scotland upon his transfer.

However, Scottish Express Sport say that Bernabei is set to start in Celtic's first league game against Aberdeen at the end of the month.

It's said that the full-back has been given the green light to play after the necessary paperwork lodged at Hampden from the Argentina FA made no mention of the punishment following a red card.

Bernabei is currently away with his new teammates in Austria as Ange Postecoglou's side are put through their paces during pre-season.

The defender will provide competition for Greg Taylor at left-back this term.
