Rumours spreading that Danny Wilson may have been ineligible for Hearts yesterday as he was sent off for Rangers in the last game he played in the competition three years ago. He wasn't on the SFA's published list of players who were ineligible to play in this weekend's games but the same list also says the following:
"IT DOES NOT DETAIL THE SUSPENSION OF ANY PLAYER WHO HAS BEEN UNREGISTERED FOR MORE THAN ONE SEASON – THIS
INFORMATION MUST BE CHECKED DIRECTLY WITH THE DISCIPLINARY DEPARTMENT."
The only other ways that Hearts could be in the right by playing him are if either:
- He was suspended for the next game for Rangers in the league (he obviously wasn't as he played in the next game for them)
Or
- Suspensions cross borders and it was served at his time at Liverpool (not sure of the rule for this)
Is this something the club should look at or mere straw clutching?
