Motherwell have appealed Jack Vale's red card but Dermot Gallagher has backed Craig Napier's decision to send the Steelmen star off in Motherwell's defeat to Aberdeen on Saturday.
With the scores level at 0-0, Motherwell were reduced to 10 men 12 minutes into the second half when Vale was shown a straight red card by whistler Napier for a high boot on Aberdeen full back Jack MacKenzie.
Despite huge appeals from the Lanarkshire side's players, VAR decided not to intervene and whistler Napier's decision stood.
Four minutes later, the Dons capitalised on their numerical advantage, when Stefan Gartenmann headed home from a Junior Hoilett corner with what turned out to be the winning goal.
