Nicky Clark has red card against Rangers rescinded after appeal

St Johnstone player Nicky Clark has had his red card against Rangers rescinded after an appeal.

The SFA decided to downgrade the “serious foul play” offence to a yellow card for a “reckless challenge” following the game at Ibrox on Saturday.

Referee Willie Collum sent Clark off in the first half with his side already trailing 1-0 after an early James Tavernier penalty.

Rangers sealed a 2-0 victory thanks to a second-half strike from Glen Kamara.

The Perth club then launched an appeal against the red card and on Wednesday they were told that it would be rescinded after a fast-track tribunal hearing.

The 31-year-old forward will now be available for St Johnstone’s game against Motherwell on Wednesday.
