A Disciplinary Tribunal convened today in accordance with the Judicial Panel Protocol and decided that Paul Paton’s claim of mistaken identity had been upheld and the player is now available for selection in Sunday’s Scottish League Cup final at Hampden Park.
The Tribunal also listened to the Compliance Officer’s referral of violent conduct against striker Nadir Ciftci. This charge was not proven and no sanction was imposed on Nadir who will now be eligible to play against Celtic in the William Hill Scottish Cup quarter final replay on Wednesday 18th March.
