The Northern Irish striker was contentiously cautioned by referee Kevin Clancy in the first half of the match at Dens Park after going to ground under a challenge from Steven Caulker.

Lafferty was adamant he should have had a penalty and, after reviewing footage, Hearts moved to contest the booking.

A fast-track tribunal was heard at Hampden today and the yellow card has been rescinded.
