Maltese defender Steve Borg has been called “a horrible bastard” for allegedly spitting on Celtic captain and Scottish midfielder Scott Brown during last week’s World Cup Qualifier in Hampden. 

Brown restrained himself and refrained from retaliating against Borg during the match, as he was only one booking away from a suspension. After the match however, Brown didn’t hold back in the least when discussing the Steve Borg spitting incident.

“He did spit on me, he is a horrible bastard,” Brown told reporters. “He put his hand up to apologise but I managed to keep my head. He is a horrible bastard but the main thing was getting the three points. Getting the win was the main thing, it was about the team — not about one person or bookings or anything like that.”

This is just one of the smaller issues that Malta’s national team have faced this week, the more pressing issues being their inability to pick up any points in the World Cup Qualifiers, and subsequent supporter-led #Ghedout campaign calling for the replacement of Malta’s head coach Pietro Ghedin.
