The SFA are allowing Sevco to appeal against the sending off of Danny Candeias against St Mirren.

The appeal process of the SFA doesn’t allow for appeals against yellow cards unless it is on the grounds of mistaken identity.

Not for the first time the Disciplinary process will be pushed aside to suit one club with the clear intention of having the winger available for Sunday’s match with Falkirk.

The Daily Record reports:

Rangers have appealed against the controversial second yellow card dished out to Daniel Candeias against St Mirren.

The Ibrox club have asked the SFA for a hearing and their request has been granted. Even though there is no mechanism to overturn a second yellow, Gers will get the chance to outline their case.

And ref Willie Collum will have to explain why he handed Candeias a second booking in the wake of Rangers’ second goal in the 2-0 win.

Clubs up and down the country have complained about there being no appeal mechanism when a player is issued with two yellow cards during a match.

Now it seems that if you have the right connections a special hearing can be arranged.

Candeias was booked for running into the fans to celebrate his goal then picked up a second yellow after the final whistle for a clash with Anton Ferdinand.
