ROSS COUNTY pair Ross Callachan and Jack Baldwin have been cited retrospectively by the Scottish Football Association’s compliance officer for challenges they made in last weekend’s cinch Premiership victory over Kilmarnock.
Midielder Callachan was booked for a 38th-minute foul on Ryan Alebiosu which riled the Killie camp before being sent off later in the game for a second bookable offence. However, it emerged on Tuesday that his initial yellow card has been upgraded to a straight red, meaning he is now liable to serve a two-match ban instead of sitting out just one fixture.
Defender Baldwin has also had his second-half booking for a foul on Kerr McInroy upgraded to a red card following a review by the compliance officer.
A Ross County statement read: “Following Saturday’s match with Kilmarnock, the SFA Compliance Officer has today informed us that Ross Callachan has been served with a two-match ban for his red card.
“Jack Baldwin has also been served with a retrospective red card and two-match ban.”
Both players facing a hearing this Thursday. County face Rangers at Ibrox this Saturday.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
