SFA Compliance Officer Vincent Lunny has begun an investigation into an alleged racial incident between Celtic's Aleksander Tonev and Aberdeen's Shay Logan.

The Dons defender complained that he was racially abused by the Bulgarian winger during Celtic's 2-1 Premiership win at Parkhead on Saturday. Tonev has denied the accusation.

The SFA received the official report from referee Bobby Madden yesterday. Logan had informed the whistler, Aberdeen captain Mark Reynolds and manager Derek McInnes of the alleged incident.

It will now be down to Lunny to decide if any action is to be taken against Tonev, who signed for the Hoops on loan from Aston Villa last month. He is likely to ask for an explanation of the incident and seek more information before deciding whether there is sufficient evidence to issue a formal notice of complaint.

President Campbell Ogilvie has confirmed the SFA have taken up the case. He said: "We've received a complaint and it is now in the hands of our Compliance Officer and it will go through the process.

"The Compliance Officer will have to take care of it.

"I can't comment on the case but it is it not something that comes up very often, obviously."

Ogilvie was speaking at the second round draw for the the William Hill Scottish Cup.

Former Scotland hero James McFadden helped pair the 32 teams in the competition at this stage. Albion Rovers, the League Two pacesetters, were drawn against Stirling University, who are managed by Shelley Kerr, the first female boss in Scottish football.

Barry Ferguson's Clyde will look to avoid a shock exit when they make the long trip north to face Turriff United.

Meanwhile, Gus MacPherson's Queen's Park will head south to face Gretna 2008 as they look to book their place in the third round.

The ties will be played on Saturday, October 4.
