Nevertheless, there was still a lot of drama in this game.
Scott Brown was shown a straight red at the end of the match for a lunge on Liam Boyce.

The away side looked to ease out the game as they were 2-1 up after Patrick Roberts put them a goal to the good.

A penalty was awarded and Boyce dispatched the spot kick to tie up the scoreline.
On closer inspection, it was a blatant dive from Schalk and the referee completely fell for it.
