Dons fans want ‘clarity’ from SFA after appeals

An Aberdeen supporters group has called on the SFA to clarify its disciplinary system following the recent decision to uphold Michael Devlin’s red card against Kilmarnock.

Devlin was sent off early on in the game against Killie on 1 September, which Aberdeen lost 2-0, for pulling back Eamonn Brophy as the striker made to race through on goal.

The Dons appealed the dismissal – arguing Brophy was still a long way from goal and that footage showed the striker had an initial tug on Devlin – but it was rejected by the SFA.
