Brown in call on UEFA

The Celtic midfielder limped off the park shortly after Binya was shown a straight red card for a shocking tackle with five minutes to go which Brown believes was intended to break his leg.
He told Sky Sports News: "Yes I think he did (try to break the leg), but I want to fight another day. Hopefully UEFA will deal with it properly. The referee dealt with it very well and sent him off right away.
He added: "(It's) shocking. I don't think the guy should ever have done that. He obviously tried to do me as hard as possible.
"I'm all right. It was a bad challenge but I've come through it."
Aiden McGeady grabbed the only goal of the game with a superb shot on the stroke of half-time to earn a much-needed win for Celtic, who headed into the match bottom of Group D.
"It's one of the nights I'll remember for the rest of my life," McGeady told ITV1.
"It's my first Champions League goal, and it makes it that bit sweeter that we got the victory as well. I've still got a long way to go before I become the player I think I can be and I know I can be. But every game I'm learning. It's not so much confidence - I just feel my game's moving up a level."
McGeady's strike took a deflection off Luisao en route to goal and he smiled: It took about four deflections I think, but it was just one of those shots, and if you don't shoot you don't score.
"Luckily for me it took a bit of a deflection, the keeper's going the wrong way, it's fooled him a little bit and you can't get any better than that."
