Livingston's Jack Hamilton wins appeal against red card

Livingston striker Jack Hamilton has had his red card against Dundee downgraded to a yellow following an appeal by the West Lothian club.

The 18-year-old was sent off by referee Bobby Madden for violent conduct after a tangle with defender Darren O'Dea during the goalless Ladbrokes Premiership encounter at Dens Park last Wednesday.

Livi appealed against the sending off with Hamilton able to play in the 2-1 home defeat to Aberdeen at the weekend.

Speaking after the Dens Park match, Livingston boss Gary Holt said: "I spoke to (referee) Bobby Madden and he said it was violent conduct for a push in the face.

"But I think Darren O'Dea has been clever, the old pro. Jack has pushed him off but he's adamant he's not hit him in the face."
