IT HAS BEEN confirmed that Monaghan star Darren Hughes was sent off for ruffling Tiernán McCann’s hair in the All-Ireland senior football quarter-final.

But Monaghan have confirmed to the Irish News that they have submitted a request to GAA chiefs to have the controversial red card rescinded.
A date for the hearing has yet to be confirmed.
Hughes, meanwhile, took the chance to troll McCann last week as Mayo star Aidan O’Shea responded to fellow social media users during the course of an AIB questions and answers session.
