ABERDEEN have successfully appealed a yellow card shown to midfielder James Maddison for diving during the 3-1 win over Inverness Caledonian Thistle last Saturday.
The on-loan Norwich City youngster was booked for going down under a challenge from Caley defender Gary Warren and took to Twitter to voice his anger at the decision after the game.
Maddison's booking was overturned at a Scottish Football Association Disciplinary Tribunal on Thursday after consideration by a panel.

The 20-year-old has impressed since arriving at Pittodrie from the Canaries in the summer, scoring two goals and providing five assists in his nine league appearances so far this season.
Derek McInnes' side currently occupy second place in the Premiership and have the chance to lift some silverware on Sunday when they face leaders Celtic in the League Cup final.
