Celtic defender Virgil van Dijk has red card rescinded

The Scottish Football Association rescinds the red card issued to Celtic defender Virgil van Dijk during the Scottish Cup quarter-final against Dundee United.

Celtic defender Virgil van Dijk has had his red card rescinded by the Scottish Football Association.

The Premiership leaders lodged an appeal against the sending-off, which occurred during last weekend's Scottish Cup quarter-finals.

Van Dijk was given his marching orders by the referee after a scuffle broke out between both sets of players during last Sunday's 1-1 draw with Dundee United.

It has now been confirmed by the SFA that the red card has been withdrawn and the defender will not face any punishment.
