Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos' one-match ban overturned
Thursday 12 April 2018 18:03, UK
Rangers have successfully appealed the yellow card picked up by Alfredo Morelos against Dundee, meaning the striker will no longer need to serve a one-match ban.
Morelos was cautioned for simulation by referee Greg Aitken in the second half of Rangers' 4-0 over Dundee on Saturday, taking his tally of cautions to six yellow cards - ruling him out of the first game after the league split.
However, Gers boss Graeme Murty will be able to draw on the services of the Colombian against Hearts on April 22 after the Scottish Football Association elected to rescind the yellow card.
Hearts' trip to Ibrox is sandwiched between two Glasgow derbies, with Rangers taking on Celtic at Hampden Park on Sunday in the Scottish Cup semi-final, before a trip to Celtic Park on April 29 in the last Old Firm fixture of the season - with all three games be shown live on Sky Sports Football.
Rangers are currently second in the table on 62 points, 13 adrift of leaders Celtic. Hearts sit four places and 16 points behind the Ibrox club.
