Hearts reveal fury over Zaliukas

Angry Hearts have demanded an overhaul of the Scottish Football Association’s disciplinary procedures after their bid to overturn Marius Zaliukas’ red card against Aberdeen was rejected.

The club yesterday slammed both the SFA and referee Iain Brines for throwing out their appeal against Lithuania defender Zaliukas’ sending off in Saturday’s Clydesdale Bank Premier League defeat at Pittodrie.
