No Rangers reunion for Ricky Foster as defender is banned for kicking referee's door

 

ST Johnstone defender Richard Foster will be suspended for the Premiership clash against his former club Rangers after kicking a referee's door.

 

The Scottish Football Association ruled that the 32-year-old was guilty of 'excessive misconduct' for the act, which took place after Saints' 3-2 defeat to Dundee at Dens Park on 19 September.

 

Referee Alan Muir awarded the hosts a penalty for Foster's foul on A-Jay Leitch-Smith, a decision which resulted in the winning goal.

 

Foster will now miss the clash with Rangers, who he represented for two seasons from 2013-2015, on 13 October as well as his club's trip to Hearts a week later.

 

The defender hit the headlines last season after picking up a two-match suspension and fine for brawling with teammate Danny Swanson during a game against Hamilton Accies.

Bizarre stuff from McGlennan.

 

It seems you can kick people in the head, elbow them off the ball and dive extravagantly to win penalties and not a peep is said. However, kick a door and you're banned for two games.

He's not very good, so no plus for us him being out.

Door > Head. Q.E.D..

He came to us - again - when we were in dire need and helped us through the divisions. That is "good" enough for me and even if he is no Ashley Cole or Joshua Kimmich, he was not bad or bad-mouthing after us or indeed having a laugh at our support.
