Glasgow Warriors assistant coach Pete Murchie has defended Stafford McDowall following the centre's citing for allegedly making contact with the eyes of a Toulon player on Sunday.
McDowall was singled out by the citing commissioner for making contact with the eyes of Toulon's number eight Facundo Isa.
A video has since circulated on social media appearing to show the incident during the first half of Sunday's Champions Cup clash, which the French side won 30-29.
McDowall will face a disciplinary hearing on Thursday morning and could face a lengthy ban if found guilty.

Asked for his view, Warriors' defence coach Murchie said: “I didn't see the incident in real time.
"I wouldn't want to say too much until he's had the hearing. It's really unfortunate. Knowing Stafford, he is certainly not a malicious player.
"We'll have to see what happens. Like I said, I didn't see it in real time. It was a bit of a disappointment.”
