St Mirren midfielder Greg Tansey charged with serious foul play

St Mirren midfielder Greg Tansey faces a two-game suspension after being charged with serious foul play for his tackle on Hearts' Clevid Dikamona on Saturday.

The 30-year-old Englishman was booked by referee Don Robertson for his challenge late in the first-half of the 1-1 Ladbrokes Premiership draw at Tynecastle.

After being issued with a fast track notice of complaint, Tansey faces a hearing on Thursday to determine whether his card will be upgraded and he will serve a ban.

The Buddies player has been charged with allegedly breaching disciplinary Rule 200 – A1 Serious Foul Play.

St Mirren, who are bottom of the table, welcome Livingston on Saturday.
