Aberdeen have appealed against Ross McCrorie’s red card against St Mirren.
The defender was sent off early in Wednesday’s 3-1 defeat at Pittodrie after catching Charles Dunne with his arm when the Saints defender appeared to block his run.
Speaking after the game, Dons caretaker manager Barry Robson said: “I’ve not seen the red card yet, but when I saw it in real time, I thought it was our free-kick.”
The appeal, which the Dons confirmed on their official website, is set to free McCrorie to face Motherwell in Saturday’s cinch Premiership encounter at Pittodrie.
The former Rangers player will serve a two-match ban if the appeal fails with Aberdeen’s subsequent matches coming against Celtic and Livingston.
Meanwhile, former Poland manager Czeslaw Michniewicz's son has revealed his father has been in talks with Aberdeen over their vacant managerial job.
But he's warned the Dons there is interest from clubs in plenty of other countries too.
Michniewicz led the Poles to the Round of 16 at the World Cup Finals in Qatar and was in charge of Robert Lewandowski and co. for a year before leaving after the tournament.
His assistant manager at the Finals, Kamil Potrykus, confirmed this week the former Legia Warsaw boss would be very interested in talking to the Pittodrie club, who are on the lookout for a new manager after sacking Jim Goodwin following a calamitous series of defeats which saw them ship 11 goals to Hearts and Hibs and slump to their worst result in their 120-year history when they lost at Darvel in the Scottish Cup.
And the 52-year-old's son, Mateusz Michniewicz, confirmed on a Polish podcast that negotiations with Aberdeen have already started.
He said: "My father has been in contact with the Scots, but no agreement has been reached yet.
"We have done some research on Aberdeen and it's been going on for a while, but we are still waiting for the concrete offer.
"But this is football and anything can happen.
"I would also say my father has received offers from other countries. - there are other options for him
"Something will happen in the near future.
"That's what happens sometimes. When you are out of work, several options can appear at once."
Michniewicz has won Polish league titles with Legia Warsaw and Zagłebie Lubin and led Legia Warsaw to the group stages of the Europa League in 2021 where they beat Leicester City and Spartak Moscow.
