Chris Kane has been told he was "very lucky" to escape a red card against Celtic.
The St Johnstone striker became involved in an incident with defender Cameron Carter-Vickers during the Parkhead side's 2-0 Premiership win on Saturday.
Kane appeared to take a kick at the on-loan Tottenham centre-back as lay over the ball, after which a "melee" involving several players ensued.
Hands were raised in the ensuing tussle and the incident went under the microscope on BBC Sportscene.
Former Scotland striker Chris Iwelumo reckons if referee Nick Walsh had seen the incident clearly, Kane would've been dismissed.
He said: "I know Chris Kane well, he competes for everything.
"He's very lucky here.
"There's a coming together and the ball is under Carter-Vickers.
"That (as Kane goes in) can't happen.
"The little swing, he's very, very lucky. He makes connection with Carter-Vickers.
"He goes to grab the throat but it's a push as well. It's the use of the hands, if that's seen it's a red card, there's no arguments there."
Both players were cautioned after Walsh managed to restore order to proceedings.
Michael Stewart reckons the ref being unsighted resulted in a "classic" example of two players being booked regardless of what actually happened.
"There's loads of bodies in the way and there's a bit of a melee," he said.
"Like so many other incidents, once the arms come up - whether it's trying block somebody off or a push to get somebody away - as soon as you start coming round the chest it's very easy to roll up and catch somebody in the face.
"But that was a classic incident where there's been a melee, there's two folk involved and the ref just comes over and, without much thought, gives out two yellows.
"You can break it down, look at it and go: 'Well, that wasn't deserved for one of them and it was deserved for the other'.
"It happens all the time."
