No action will be taken against Dunfermline's striker Noel Hunt who was caught on TV spitting on Bert Konterman last Sunday in the Scottish Cup tie at East End Park.
After reviewing the footage the SFA have farcically decided it merited no action as there was ³no case to answer² despite Hunt being clearly caught in the act. The video review panel will not now be empanelled to sit on the case.
This in stark contrast to the four-match ban handed out to Rangers Lorenzo Amoruso for a far less clear-cut incident involving Ayr's James Grady.
The SFA's head of the disciplinary and referees department Drew
Herbertson said: "We review these matches as a matter of course to see if there is anything amiss.
"While we acknowledge that there was a spitting incident, the TV
evidence was inconclusive as to the exact nature of it and so it has not been referred to the video review panel."
