Hamilton have succeeded in appealing against Jamie Hamilton's latest red card.

The defender was sent off for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity when Accies were 2-0 up against Hearts in the 21st minute of their 2-2 draw on Saturday.

The 17-year-old was ruled to have handled the ball as he challenged Liam Boyce.

It was the third red card the defender had received in just 12 games this season, but he'll now be available to face Motherwell this weekend after the decision was overturned.

The club tweeted: "We can now confirm Jamie Hamilton's red card at Tynecastle has been rescinded.''
