The SFA have written to Michael Duberry to ask for his comments as they consider punishing the St Johnstone defender for his rant on social networking site Twitter.
The former Chelsea and Leeds United stopper vented his fury at referee Mike Tumilty’s display in Saints’ controversial 2-0 defeat to Dundee United at Tannadice nearly a fortnight ago.
The SFA said at the time that they were “aware” of the 35-year-old’s tirade but it has now emerged that they have sought an explanation of his comments.
They are awaiting a response before deciding what, if any, action will be taken against the player.
