Rangers Women coach Craig McPherson has been charged by the Scottish FA over his alleged headbutt on Celtic Women boss Fran Alonso.
The incident, which is being investigated by police, took place after Monday's Old Firm match, live on Sky Sports, as McPherson approached Alonso on the pitch at Broadwood Stadium.
McPherson, whose actions are also being looked into by Rangers, will now face an SFA hearing on April 13 after being deemed to have breached disciplinary rules.
A Celtic spokesperson said of the incident: "Clearly this is a hugely concerning incident, falling well below any acceptable standard.
"We understand the matter is now being investigated and it will be up to all relevant authorities to take any appropriate action."
Police Scotland's spokesperson said: "We have received a report regarding an incident at Broadwood Stadium on the evening of Monday, March 27, 2023. Enquiries to establish any criminality are at an early stage."
