The defender was shown a straight red card against Livingston on Saturday

Published 23rd Feb 2022

St Mirren defender Charles Dunne will be available to face Dundee tonight after his recent red card was downgraded to a yellow.

The 29-year old was sent off by Willie Collum in Saturday's draw with Livingston after a collision with Sebastian Soto.

American striker Soto went down holding his face with Dunne given his marching orders.

The Buddies decided to appeal against the decision which went to a fast-track tribunal.

Dunne's challenge was originally deemed to be violent conduct, but has now been reduced to a cautionable offence.

A St Mirren club statament said: "Following fast-track tribunal, Charles Dunne’s red card for violent conduct has been reduced to a cautionable offence.

"Charles will not have to serve a suspension and will be available for tonight’s match."
