KILMARNOCK FC's appeal against the red-carding of goalkeeper Cammy Bell in Saturday's home SPL game against Inverness Caley Thistle has been successful His sending off led to the penalty from which the Highlanders sealed victory.

Boss Kenny Shiels had argued that there had been very little contact between the Scotland international and Ross Draper i n the incident which came 13 minutes from time but referee Eyan Norris pointed to the spot and Billy McKay netted to seal the points.

It means he will be eligible to play in Saturday's home clash with Ross County as the red card has been rescinded.
