If an SPL side had done this would they have been thrown out of the competition?? nope I don’t think so – they would have been heavily fined and then told to replay the game. Because the bigger the team the more money comes into the competition.
Brechin could have played the game again minus the two players but now hamilton progress when they didnt deserve to do so, but they wont be complaining.
