Motherwell defender Cedric Kipre has had his red card against Celtic rescinded by a Scottish Football Association judicial panel.
The 21-year-old appealed against his dismissal for violent conduct after being sent off in the 0-0 draw at Fir Park last weekend following a clash with Scott Brown.
Kipre had faced a two-game suspension following the sending-off but a claim of wrongful dismissal was accepted by the panel, with a yellow card awarded instead, meaning he will be available to face Rangers on March 31.
"We are pleased that the panel ruled in Cedric's favour," Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson told his club's website. "It is a sensible outcome, something that all parties agree with.
"Cedric is now available for our upcoming games, which are hugely important as we try and reach the top six. We can now draw a line under things and move on."
Kipre has made 40 appearances for Motherwell this season. He joined the club after a successful trial period in the summer.
