Tavernier & Turnbull but only one red card handed out

There seems to be a media consensus that David Turnbull deserved his red card against Motherwell today, meaningless in the match but carrying a likely two match suspension.

The Celtic midfielder raised his boot high in stoppage time to reach a cross, coming out behind him was St Johnstone goalkeeper Remi Matthews.

After issuing a yellow card Mike Roncone on VAR suggested a review to which Kevin Clancy upgraded to a red card.

Not so strangely, the previous night a similarly dangerous challenge from James Tavernier went unpunished.

The Ross County forward had to take evasive action, captain Tav escaped punishment from an incident at 0-0, his side went on to win 1-0. Don Robertson refereed the match in Dingwall.
