Callum Butcher has been charged by the SFA with serious foul play.
The Dundee United defender had only been on the park 10 minutes when he wiped out David Turnbull with his full body weight going through into the lower leg of the midfielder.
Fortunately Turnbull had his foot off the ground otherwise he would have been suffered serious damage.
Virtually every pundit who witnessed the challenge said that it should have been a red card but for reasons best known to Don Robertson only a yellow card was issued.

The Express reports:
The compliance officer has now taken action, as the player has not been offered a fixed ban and will face a disciplinary panel on December 9.
On December 11 United host Livingston before travelling to Ibrox a week later, a two match suspension is the usual outcome of such cases.
Robertson will be in charge of Wednesday’s match between Livingston and Hibs, picking up another lucrative match fee.
The Celtic board has made no public comment on the physical attacks on players on the park, failure of match officials to apply the Laws of the Game and the increasingly critical commentary of players such as Kyogo Furuhashi by their media partners.
Compliance officer should ask Robertson why it was only a yellow when it should have been straight red and report this back to Celtic,shows how incompetent Robertson is 2 match ban? Only Livingston and sevco benefit, what a lowlife outfit the sfa are.
This is done on purpose. The SFA are not as daft as they make out. Allow a Celtic player to possibly get injured and take no action or just a yellow card against the offender. So no advantage to Celtic. The disadvantage comes later when the offending player is not allowed to play against the zombies. Scottish football is a corrupt game, in order to benefit one club only.
Why are we even surprised any longer.
