The Colombian saw red for a stamp on Malachi Boateng as the Lions went down 2-0 against the Dees.
Livingston defender Cristian Montano has apologised to team-mates and staff following his red card against Dundee – but gaffer David Martindale says the player insists a stamp on Malachi Boateng wasn’t deliberate.
The Colombian saw red on 70 minutes following a VAR check after being initially shown a yellow card before Dundee bagged two late goals and picked up the three points.He said: “Cristian has been fined. I let him come up with that figure himself. I’m not big on fining players because we’re not on a lot of money at this club and we’re coming up to a period in the season when money is always tight.
“I let Cristian come up with a proposal for me that was acceptable and he has. I spoke to him at length, he is adamant he didn’t mean it and I don’t think Cristian Montano is a liar. “I’ve told him, looking at the footage, it looks as though he meant it but he’s said he didn’t. He’s apologised to the players and staff and I need to take him at value. He is a very humble human being, he is sincere – we’ll move on.”
