Hearts star loses appeal over Pittodrie red card

HEARTS have lost their appeal to have Laryea Kingston’s Pittodrie red card wiped out.

The Ghana international was sent off by referee Willie Collum for a high challenge on Fraser Fyvie during their 1-0 victory over Aberdeen FC at the weekend.

Aberdeen FC boss Mark McGhee dismissed claims by Hearts gaffer Jim Jefferies that Fyvie “made a meal of the challenge.”

Kingston will now be suspended for Hearts’ clash away to Dundee United on Sunday.
