Keith Lasley ban confirmed

Midfielder Keith Lasley will be forced to sit out the next two SPL matches following his red card against Aberdeen last Sunday.

The veteran midfielder, who is enjoying a terrific season, was ordered off after a challenge on Fraser Fyvie left the Dons youngster grounded.

Stand-in skipper Lasley has since apologised to the player and was backed by former boss Craig Brown and former teammate Mark Reynolds.

However, referee Craig Thomson confirmed in his report that the 32-year old was dismissed for serious foul play, an offence that carries an automatic two-game ban in all competitions.

The former Plymouth Argyle man will now miss Saturday’s clash with Aberdeen and the trip to Rugby Park the following weekend.
