Celtic captain Scott Brown will not be punished for his celebrations following the Old Firm game against Rangers after a Scottish FA charge was found not proven.
Brown was accused of "failing to act in the best interest of Scottish football" after he celebrated Celtic's 2-1 win in front of the Rangers support at the end of March.
Boss Neil Lennon said Celtic would defend Brown "vigorously" and prior to the hearing indicated he would be "surprised" if the charge was upheld.
The hearing was scheduled to take place on May 2, but Celtic asked to have it moved and Brown is now free to play against Kilmarnock and Aberdeen.
The 33-year-old former Scotland international was also involved in incidents that led to red cards for Alfredo Morelos, Andy Halliday and, retrospectively, Ryan Kent, while Rangers manager Steven Gerrard was also given a one-game touchline ban.
Both Old Firm clubs will find out on May 2 if they are to be punished for the mass confrontation at the end of the game.
