An SPFL disciplinary panel will discuss the rule breach today after midfielder Ali Coote came on for the last 13 minutes at Caledonian Stadium last Friday. Another United teenager, Jamie Robson, was an unused substitute, also contrary to regulations.

SPFL rules forbid players from returning from lower-league loans after March 31 and then playing for their Premiership parent club.

The United duo were still out on loan in April, with Coote at East Fife and Robson at Brechin City.

They were only re-registered with the SFA as United players on May 5 – the day before the Caley Thistle clash – and were ineligible for the first-team squad.

It is likely the result will be wiped out and Inverness awarded the three points instead as there is no time to replay the fixture.
