Dundee United have appealed against manager Jackie McNamara’s dugout ban, thereby freeing him up for Ibrox.
McNamara has been handed a five-game penalty (two suspended) by the SFA as punishment for his conduct during United’s home match against St Johnstone on March 12.
With the appeal now lodged, the Tannadice boss will be on the touchline for tomorrow’s William Hill Scottish Cup semi-final against Rangers.
The club stated: “Dundee United confirms that it has submitted an appeal to the Scottish FA relating to the ruling of the disciplinary hearing held at Hampden yesterday.
“The ruling found Jackie McNamara to be in breach of disciplinary Rule 203 in respect of misconduct at our match v St Johnstone on 12 March 2014 and resulted in a five-match suspension (three of which apply immediately and two suspended until end of the season) being issued.”
