Meanwhile, the Asian Football Confederation has confirmed it will take no action over Ki Sung-yueng's perceived racist celebration following his goal against Japan, with the South Korean claiming his intention was in fact to highlight abuse in Scottish football. Ki opened the scoring from the spot and celebrated by appearing to impersonate a monkey in an apparent derogatory reference to Japanese people that outraged sections of the country's media. However, the Celtic midfielder revealed he was in fact trying to hit back against abuse suffered while playing in Scotland. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/jan/27/japan-shinji-kagawa-asian-cup-final
