Timothy Weah has hailed Celtic captain Scott Brown as a 'leader of men' and insists he did nothing wrong to merit the ban he could be facing following Sunday's Old Firm game at Parkhead.

The midfielder and Rangers manager Steven Gerrard have both been hit with Scottish Football Association disciplinary charges following the Hoops' 2-1 win.
