Aberdeen are appealing against the booking James Maddison received in the 3-1 win over Inverness Caley Thistle. Referee Kevin Clancy flourished his yellow card for simulation following a tackle by Gary Warren on the edge of the Inverness box. Sky Sports Black Friday sale Hey! Upgrade to Sky Sports now and get 12 months half price! Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes was quick to defend his player after the match and is confident the card will be rescinded by the authorities. McInnes said: I have only looked at the replay once but my first thought was that Warren definitely caught James.He hasnt dived or whatever. It was particularly galling because we were the victims up in Inverness last season when we were done by a dive that cost us a penalty. Watch a round-up from all of Saturdays games in the Scottish Premiership. Im not saying we should have had a penalty. It was on the edge of the box, so it should have been a free-kick.It was a definite foul though and I dont think James should have been yellow carded.Upgrade to Sky Sports now and get 12 months half price.

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby will not play in the teams home opener Thursday night against the Washington Capitals as he continues his recovery from a concussion.Crosby did join his teammates for practice Wednesday after working out vigorously with a trainer and goaltender on an adjacent sheet of ice for more than 30 minutes.Crosby took one line rush wearing a normal jersey and then donned a yellow noncontact jersey, but stayed for the balance of the teams workout and was visibly upbeat during the workout.Im always happy when Im on the ice, Crosby told reporters after the workout. Im always happy. Ive been through this before I dont get too caught up in every little step.Crosby missed the teams preseason game against Columbus on Saturday and it was revealed Monday that he had been diagnosed with a concussion after practice on Friday.Crosby, 29, missed significant time during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons while recovering from post-concussion symptoms. News of his new diagnosis has created a ripple of concern throughout the hockey world.Although he has now skated on consecutive days, Crosby said he knows enough not to try and read too much into it.It can go a lot of different ways, he said. Youre trying to find that range where youre stressing your body and testing it but not putting it in a position where youre going to not feel good. Its a fine line and just trying to make sure I progress.Coach Mike Sullivan was likewise cautiously optimistic about Crosbys appearance with the main group of players on Wednesday. Hes obviously feeling well enough that he wants to jooin the team for practice and get involved in some of the flow drills and thats what we did, Sullivan said.ddddddddddddWell take it step by step and were following the guidance of our medical team and well go from there, but hes certainly making progress and thats encouraging from our standpoint, the coach said.Sullivan did rule Crosby out of the teams first regular-season game Thursday. Before that game the Penguins will raise their 2016 Stanley Cup banner to the rafters of the recently renamed PPG Paints Arena. The coach confirmed that Crosby will have to go through a full-contact practice before he is cleared to play in a regular-season game.Theres obviously a protocol thats mandated that these guys follow, Sullivan said. Part of it is you heighten their heart rates to a certain level, and as they make progress you add the intensity of their workouts and you see how they respond.That makes the most sense, to get him into contact drills and get him back into the intensity of a game-like environment so that when he does go back into the lineup, hes prepared to succeed.Crosby is coming off a superlative 2015-16 season that saw him start slowly with just five points in October but finish with some of the best hockey of his career. He was named playoff MVP in helping the Penguins to a second Stanley Cup during his tenure with the team.Crosby then led Team Canada to an undefeated run at the World Cup of Hockey last month. He led all tournament scorers and was named tournament MVP. ' ' '
