Hearts are considering an appeal over the red card shown to Ghanaian international Laryea Kingston in their 1-0 win away at Aberdeen. Kingston had been on the field for only seven minutes after coming on a substitute at half time when he was dismissed on 52 minutes by referee Willie Collum for a challenge on Aberdeen's Fraser Fyver. "We'll have a look at it on the video and if it's a case where we can appeal it, we will because I think he was harshly treated," said Hearts boss Jim Jefferies. "My first thought was that he was hard done to. At worst it was a foul." "It looked to me as if he was just stretching for the ball and he caught the boy accidentally. He didn't do it with any malice or intention. "If the referee had given a yellow card it would've been maybe even a bit harsh, but to give that was a bit ridiculous." The straight card which carries an automatic three game ban is a set back for Kingston who is beginning to warm his way back into Hearts hearts again after his difficult spell at the beginning of the season.
