After reviewing video evidence, the club have decided to try and get the card overturned.

Because it is his second red card of the season, Byrne would be banned for two games.

The suspension was due to start when the Iron visit Leicester on Saturday but he could now play if the decision is overturned on Thursday.

It is set to be heard by the FA's appeals panel on Thursday afternoon.
