The referee quickly intervened, blowing his whistle sharply and stepping between the two players. Tensions were high, and the crowd was buzzing, sensing the hostility between Brown and Robson. The official brandished a yellow card for Brown who committed the offence before warning both players to calm down as he would be sending them off for any more missteps.
The Celtic captain, still brimming with adrenaline, grudgingly accepted the card, while Robson muttered something under his breath as he turned away, clearly agitated. "Things are really heating up on the pitch now," Callum McDonald noted, his voice rising with the excitement of the moment. "That was a fierce challenge from Brown, and it's clear that neither side is willing to back down. This match has all the makings of a classic."
