Uche Ikpeazu has yellow card for simulation rescinded

Hearts striker Uche Ikpeazu has had a yellow card for diving rescinded by the Scottish Football Association.

The 24-year-old was booked by referee JohnBeaton during Saturday's 2-1 Scottish Premiership win over Aberdeen at Tynecastle .

Television replays showed there was contact between Ikpeazu and Dons goalkeeper Joe Lewis, prompting an appeal from Hearts .

The Scottish FA announced on its website that the appeal for a wrongful caution has been upheld and the booking overturned.

Ikpeazu, who claimed the winning goal against Aberdeen, was later carried off on a stretcher with a head injury and will miss Wednesday's game at Rangers.

However, having passes concussion protocols this week, the club are confident he'll be fit for Saturday's Edinburgh derby against Hibs.
