Preston winger Ross Wallace has defended his goal celebration in Monday's 1-1 draw at derby rivals Blackpool.
The Scotland international Wallace stepped up to curl a classy strike into the top corner seven minutes before the break and cancel out Billy Clarke's opener.
Wallace was booked after he ran to the visiting supporters to celebrate and a steward appeared to be injured after becoming caught up in the ensuing melee.
Wallace, 24, said: "I slid along the touchline, I didn't go off the pitch.
"When I was being booked the referee told me it was for encouraging the fans to go on to the pitch.
"I didn't do that, it's a stupid rule about goal celebrations - at least I didn't take my shirt off this time."
