Celtic face a double disciplinary charge over claims they failed to keep their players in check during recent clashes with Hamilton and Partick Thistle.
The Hoops have been issued with a notice of complaint relating to last month’s William Hill Scottish Cup win at Firhill and Sunday’s 4-1 triumph over Accies at the Foys Stadium.
Hamilton have also been charged with breaching the same disciplinary rule 204 and both clubs face a maximum fine of £20,000 if found guilty.
Disciplinary rule 204 requires “officials, team staff, employees and players conduct themselves in an orderly fashion at all times during and/or after a match”.
It also specifically warns individuals against “becoming involved in a confrontation; conduct that is likely to lead to or to exacerbate or prolong a hostile or argumentative situation with players and/or team staff from the opposing team and/or match officials; and conduct that may otherwise incite disorder”.
The flashpoint occurred after Griffiths dragged Woods to the ground following a clash on the half-way line and then appeared to bring his right foot down on Woods’ prone body.
Motherwell were handed a censure and a suspended £2,500 fine back in October after defender Richard Tait was accused of a similar offence after giving away a spot-kick during a win at St Johnstone.
Coach Michael Beale also faces a misconduct charge for his protests in the wake of the Colombian’s sending-off.
Hibs, meanwhile, also received a charge of breaching rule 204 following the touchline brawl with the Light Blues’ bench during December’s clash at Easter Road.
