Red cards spoil Scottish game
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Just when it seemed that Scottish football was beginning to take charge of its own affairs, with the Procurator Fiscal backing off from his highly- publicised excursions into the game, five players unwisely brought the ugly side of the game back into the public eye on Saturday.
The 11 games which beat the weather produced five red cards, with Darren Dods guilty of a particularly nasty challenge on Phil O'Donnell, of Celtic, in which he appeared to attempt to punch his opponent.
Heart of Midlothian finished their game against Raith Rovers with nine men after Neil Berry and Gary Locke were both sent off, while Paul Tosh, of Dundee, made his early exit for a fierce tackle against Dunfermline. Partick Thistle's Wayne Foster was the fifth player to be dismissed, at Rangers.
