Tony Watt in bullish Dundee United red card verdict as Liam Fox reveals 'adamant' stance ahead of VAR appeal

Tony Watt is adamant that he shouldn’t have been red carded by VAR and Dundee United boss Liam Fox is hoping that an appeal will back him up.

The United star was left frustrated as a VAR intervention saw him shown a straight red for a late challenge on Sean Goss in the 1-0 weekend defeat to Motherwell. Referee John Beaton hadn’t even given a foul but then decided to go to his top pocket after taking a second opinion.

Watt was left gutted after the game and apologised to his teammates for leaving them short but is adamant he shouldn’t have been sent off. United have appealed that decision and a disciplinary hearing will review the case on Wednesday. Fox said: “Tony is adamant it shouldn’t have been a red card. He was absolutely devastated with the decision and the fact that we had ended up losing the game.
