SFA set to rule on Hoops’ Thompson appeal

CELTIC have appealed to the Scottish FA against the red card shown to Alan Thompson during the 2-0 defeat by Rangers.

The appeal arrived at SFA headquarters yesterday and the Hoops will soon know whether the England international will be able to play in the Premier League match at Dundee on Sunday.

Thompson was shown a straight red card by referee Kenny Clark following an incident with Rangers’ winger Peter Lovenkrands.
