St Mirren succeed with appeal against Yoann Arquin red card

St Mirren striker Yoann Arquin was sent off against the club he left this month

St Mirren striker Yoann Arquin's red card against Ross County has been downgraded to a booking.

The Frenchman's Buddies debut lasted just 38 minutes as referee Brian Colvin sent him packing against his former club for a challenge on Lewis Toshney.

St Mirren appealed against the decision, allowing Arquin to play in Wednesday's draw with Dundee United.

A Scottish FA fast-track panel took the view that the player merited a "caution for recklessly dangerous play".

Despite Arquin's dismissal against the Staggies, St Mirren prevailed 2-1 on 17 January.
