Dundee United striker Tony Watt has had his red card rescinded following a successful SFA appeal.
The United hierarchy have decided to challenge the sending-off for his first-half tackle on Sean Goss in their 1-0 defeat to Motherwell at Tannadice. Referee John Beaton didn’t even give a foul in the game but was then asked to go to the pitch-side monitor by the match VAR chief David Munro.
Beaton was shown footage before he returned to the pitch he decided to show Watt a straight red card. There are limited camera angles in VAR in Scotland and footage from other sources has now cast doubt on whether the challenge was worthy of an ordering off, which sparked the Dundee United appeal.
