TANNADICE booking leaves McCulloch on verge of SPL ban
LEE McCULLOCH'S booking against Dundee United means he could now just be one yellow card from an SPL suspension.
Sasa PapacThe midfielder was a standout in last night's 3-0 win at Tannadice but blotted his copybook for a foul in the first half.
It was McCulloch's sixth caution of the season and his fifth in the league, meaning he has moved up to 15 disciplinary points.
With most bookable offences being worth three points, it is likely that one more would incur a one-match ban.
Sasa Papac also collected his sixth yellow card of the season on Tayside and his fourth in the championship.
But the Bosnian defender has only accrued 11 points to date, meaning he's still a minimum of three cautions from finding himself suspended for a league game.

RANGERS chief executive Martin Bain today praised the Rangers Supporters Assembly and fans groups for their efforts in the run up to the club's UEFA Champions League tie in Seville.
He said:" The club and supporters' groups worked well together prior to this match to try to ensure Seville was an enjoyable experience for everyone travelling.
"While the result was disappointing for the team, the supporters groups did everything they could and in general the atmosphere in Seville was relaxed.
"It was important for the fans to finish the Champions' League campaign without any problems and the supporters responded well.
"I would like to pay particular tribute to those fans representatives who met with the club and made a big effort to spread the word among all supporters.."

BAIN responds to Dundee United Chairman's comments
IN response to comments made by Dundee United's Chairman Stephen Thompson earlier today with regard to tickets for next Tuesday's re-arranged match Rangers Chief Executive Martin Bain said:
"After being accused that I used the AGM as a platform to criticise Dundee United and cover up the Club's issues, the reality is that the volume of complaints and the tremendous ill feeling that was Martin Bainbeing vented towards Dundee United's decision was a matter that simply could not be ignored.
"It is very disappointing as our position could not have been made clearer at every stage since the game was called off.
"There is obviously written correspondence between the Clubs that confirms this.
"I deeply resent the suggestion that I misled shareholders at our AGM. That is wrong and offensive and I will be taking the matter further.
"I still maintain that football fans have been considered last by this decision."
Andy Kerr, President of the Rangers Supporters Assembly said: "I have been party to all representations made by Rangers to Dundee United.
"What they are now suggesting is completely out of order and the Rangers supporters know the truth of what happened here.
"Dundee United has behaved very badly throughout this whole saga."

IMPORTANT information for fans going to Pittodrie this weekend
RANGERS fans travelling to Pittodrie Stadium for this weekend's game with Aberdeen are advised to plan their journey well in advance.
A new shopping centre has recently opened in the city and is causing major congestion around the Market Street and Guild Street areas.
Increased traffic volumes have led to gridlock and supporters are recommended to take alternative routes where possible.
The police have asked that all fans should aim to be inside the stadium at least 30 minutes before the game to ensure they are there in time for kick off.
An early start is advised for people travelling from the Glasgow area as there are major roadworks around Cumbernauld with a 40mph speed limit and averaging cameras.
Saturday is expected to be the busiest shopping day of the year in Aberdeen.
Fans who normally fequent the Saltourn Arms should not that it is currently closed.
Large flags or banners are not permitted in the stadium.
It is against the law to carry alcohol on a bus while en route to or from a sporting event.
Grampian Police regularly use cameras for evidence-gathering purposes. The Police will be addressing all manner of football-related activity with particular reference to any persons behaving in a sectarian or racist manner.
