Nadir Ciftci’s red card against Inverness CT overturned

Nadir Ciftci’s red card against Inverness Caledonian Thistle has been overturned to a yellow card after an appeal hearing at Hampden.

The charge of Violent Conduct against the Dundee United striker for allegedly grabbing an opposing player by his face was not proven and no further action will be taken.

Another charge of grabbing an assistant referee by the throat is still hanging over him.
