Ahead of the game, some fans have expressed concern on social media that if defender Cameron Carter-Vickers picks up a yellow card tonight then he would be ruled out of the upcoming derby against Rangers.

However, a player must be booked six times in a competition before they could then be ruled out of a game, according to the SFA guidelines.

They state that the: "Accumulation of six cautionable offences in the same competition [leads to] one match dated suspension [for every further accumulation of six cautionable offences the suspension applied will be extended by one match]."

Additionally, the suspension activates 14 days after the date on which a player picked up their sixth yellow.
