Augustin Binya was shown a straight red card by Swedish referee Martin Hansson for the shocking challenge with five minutes of the match remaining at Celtic Park.

A UEFA spokesman confirmed: "We haven't received the reports of the referee or the match delegate yet but we always open a disciplinary case for a red card."

Afterwards, Brown accused his opponent of trying to break his leg and urged UEFA to take further action against the Benfica player.

Binya faces at least a one-match ban and, because he was sent off, the governing body will automatically investigate the incident and decide later this month whether he should face further sanctions.

The spokesman added: "This will be on the agenda of the next control and disciplinary body meeting on November 15.

"There will be at least a one-match ban but all red cards are judged individually so we will need to wait until the meeting to see if there will be a further ban."
