Shocking footage has emerged of Nairn County defender Ross Tokely appearing to punch an opposition player in his side’s friendly win in Stornoway on Saturday.
The flashpoint, shared on social media on Saturday, shows the former Caley Thistle defender lashing out at a Western Isles Island Games Association player.
The incident in the game, which County won 3-1, was missed by officials.
Footage shows Micheil Russell Smith scoring for the Western Isles Island Games Association before being felled by the blow from veteran central defender Tokely.
Nairn County have been approached for comment following the incident which marred the match.
Nervous wait
Tokely is also facing a nervous wait to discover if he will face disciplinary action from the Scottish Football Association for the incident.
Officials missed the clash between the players but the SFA’s compliance officer may issue the 44-year-old defender with a notice of complaint.
Nairn County won 3-1 against the Western Isles Island Games Association side in Stornoway courtesy of two goals from Scott Davidson and one from Tyler Eadie.
The Western Isles team are gearing up for the Island Games which start in Guernsey next week.
Tokely is Caley Thistle’s record appearance holder, playing 589 times for the club between 1996 and 2012, which included seven years in the top-flight.
He had a spell at Ross County before moving to Brora Rangers as a player-coach in 2013. He was Brora manager from December 2016 to May 2018 before returning to playing with Loch Ness and St Duthus.
He joined Nairn County in October last year at the age of 43.
Nairn County were asked for a response to the incident.
