HEARTS striker Tony Watt has successfully overturned the yellow card he was shown for diving against Hamilton last Saturday.
Referee Craig Thomson booked the former Celtic forward for simulation after he went down dramatically following a challenge from Accies defender Shaun Want during a 3-1 win for the Jambos at Tynecastle.
The capital club appealed the decision and the claim was upheld this morning at Hampden Park.

Watt's yellow card will now be struck from his record following the decision of an independent panel at the disciplinary tribunal.
The 22-year-old has scored one goal in six games for Hearts so far this season and was a late call-up to the Scotland squad that played Malta earlier in September.
