Angus Gunn in hot water as Norwich City and Scotland star charged by FA for 'acting in an improper manner'

Scotland keeper Angus Gunn is facing a ban after 'acting in an improper manner' whilst playing for Norwich City.

The FA have given Gunn 48 hours to respond to the charge which relates to the Canaries' 3-0 defeat to QPR earlier this month, where the stopper was furious after referee Anthony Backhouse ignored claims for a foul in the build-up to the home side's second goal. It alleges that the 28-year-old, who started all three games for Steve Clarke's side at Euro 2024, 'acted in an improper manner around the tunnel area at half time of this fixture' and they have given Gunn until Thursday December 19 to respond.

If found guilty he could face a ban, joining international teammate Kenny McLean on the sidelines after he was given a four match suspension for an incident in the same game which was also missed by the officials at the time. A statement from the FA said: "Angus Gunn has been charged with misconduct following the EFL Championship match between Norwich City and Queens Park Rangers on Saturday 7 December. The goalkeeper allegedly acted in an improper manner around the tunnel area at half time of this fixture, and he has until Thursday 19 December to respond."

Last week Gunn's teammate McLean - who had been linked with a move to Rangers in the summer - was banned for four games after being found guilty of violent conduct in the same game, the 48 times capped midfielder was charged after an incident in the 24th minute of the defeat that was missed by the referee at the time. An FA statement said: "The midfielder’s behaviour during the 24th minute of the game wasn’t seen by the match officials at the time, but it was caught on camera, and The FA subsequently alleged that it constitutes violent conduct.
