Juanjo Doesn't See Red

  • Teaser Paragraph:

The SFA video review panel has decided that Juanjo was wrongly dismissed by Dougie McDonald and has rescinded his red card. This makes him available for selection for tomorrow's game at Tannadice.


Juanjo was ordered off in the 17th minute of last week's match at Pittodrie against Celtic by Referee Dougie McDonald after the intervention of 4th official Alan Freeland who indicated that he had seen an incident between Juanjo and Celtic's Neil Lennon. At that point the score was still 0-0 . Celtic went on to win 3-1.

Caley Thistle boss John Robertson remained supportive of Juanjo both after the match and since, questioning the reasoning given by the 4th official for the red card. "The fourth official says he saw a movement of Juanjo's head towards Lennon, but that is clearly not what happened in this incident." said Robertson on BBC Scotland.

Juanjo's clearance of the offence will mean he is eligible to play at Tannadice in the match against Dundee United.
