Celtic lose Trusty red card appeal but King dismissal overturned

4 hours ago 2

Violent conduct carries an automatic two-match suspension but Trusty incurred an additional one-match ban, having previously been sent off in the competition this season.

However, Trusty will be available for the Scottish Cup quarter-final away to Rangers on 8 March.

The Scottish FA said in relation to the Trusty decision: "Payment of £650 Appeal Deposit to be made within 30 days."

Speaking after full-time on Sunday, Celtic boss Martin O'Neill said "I've just had a word with the referee. He said he was going to just have a word with the two players then VAR intervened and said it was violent conduct.

"You can't do this if that's the rules now. It doesn't matter if someone is holding on to you. You can't, in an attempt to break away, you can't thrust down in the manner in which he did."
