Motherwell Appeals Dan Casey Red Card Decision

Motherwell FC has lodged a wrongful dismissal claim with the Scottish Football Association after defender Dan Casey received a straight red card during a 1-1 draw against Kilmarnock. Referee Chris Graham upheld the decision despite VAR advising him to review the incident, which involved a clash with Kilmarnock's Danny Armstrong. Manager Stuart Kettlewell described the decision as 'the worst' he has ever seen, stating that he hasn't spoken to anyone who agrees with the outcome. Kettlewell emphasized the need for accountability in refereeing, noting that such decisions undermine the reputation of the game. The appeal will be heard by a fast-track tribunal soon, as Casey's availability for their upcoming match against Celtic hangs in the balance. This incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding officiating standards in Scottish football.
