Caley Thistle Reject Meekings SFA Ban
The defender had been served an SFA notice of complaint about the alleged handball incident during the Scottish Cup semi-final with Celtic.
Inverness Caledonian Thistle has declined an offer of a one match ban for Josh Meekings over an alleged handball at the Scottish Cup semi-final.
The defender was hit with a notice of complaint from the SFA following the clash with Celtic at Hampden on Sunday.
The club's reponse means the matter will now be handled by a disciplinary panel.
A hearing is due to take place on Thursday.
A club spokesperson said: “The club intends to vigorously defend our player and is taking legal advice on the issue."
“We are extremely disappointed that this has arisen and the player himself is mentally shattered at the turn of events."
“Josh is keen to appear in person at the disciplinary hearing and we will most strongly support him by all means available.”
