St Mirren succeed with appeal against Fraser red card

The late red card shown to St Mirren defender Marcus Fraser in Saturday's 2-0 loss at Dundee United has been overturned.

The Paisley club launched an appeal against the decision, with a Scottish FA fast-track tribunal finding in their favour.

Fraser gave away two penalties at Tannadice, with referee Matthew MacDermid using the pitchside monitor to review both decisions.

He was not cautioned for the first incident but had a yellow card upgraded to red for the second when he was ruled to have impeded Louis Moult.

MacDermid's view was that Fraser had denied Moult an obvious goal-scoring opportunity, with Wednesday morning's hearing panel disagreeing.

"If that's a red card, we're all in trouble," said St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson in his post-match interview. "There's minimal contact and it's debatable whether it's a penalty."

Kevin Holt converted the first spot-kick but his second effort was saved by Ellory Balcombe in stoppage time before Emmanuel Adegboyega added another goal for United.
