The Scottish Football Association have fast-tracked Caley Thistle's James Keatings' tribunal hearing over his sending off in the Challenge Cup semi final to tomorrow.

Picture - Ken Macpherson, Inverness. SCOTTISH CHALLENGE CUP - SEMI-FINAL. Inverness CT(2) v Rangers Colts(1).16.02.20. ICT's James Keatings went down under a challenge from Rangers' Ciaran Dickson, only to be shown his 2nd yellow card and a red card.

The club have lodged an appeal of a wrongful caution after he was sent off in the 2–1 win over Rangers Colts on Sunday.

Keatings, who had already been booked, received a second yellow card for simulation from referee Greg Aitken.

However, television replays indicated that Keatings was body checked by Ciaran Dickson which lead to him going to ground.

Keatings will miss the Challenge Cup final against Raith Rovers on Saturday, March 28 if the referee's decision stands.
