Cédric Kipré has won his appeal against the red card shown to him against Celtic.
A claim of wrongful dismissal was accepted by a judicial panel at Hampden Park on Thursday, overturning the decision and cancelling a resulting two-game suspension.
A yellow card will instead be added to the player’s record for the incident.
Kipré will now be available for selection for Motherwell’s next match at home to Rangers on March 31.
The 21-year-old, who is currently on international duty with Ivory Coast, was initially ruled by referee Craig Thomson to have committed violent conduct in a clash with Scott Brown in Sunday’s 0-0 draw.
The test for violent conduct, according to the laws of the game, is that a player “must either use or attempt to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball.”
The judicial panel ruled that Kipré’s actions did not use excessive force or brutality against his opponent.
“We are pleased that the panel ruled in Cédric’s favour,” manager Stephen Robinson said of the decision. “It is a sensible outcome, something that all parties agree with.
“Cédric is now available for our upcoming games, which are hugely important as we try and reach the top six. We can now draw a line under things and move on.”
