The clip of the incident has started re-surfacing the internet yet again. In an attempt to win the ball against Dundee’s Turkish forward Nadir Ciftci, MacKinnon ended up in between Ciftci’s leg as he wrapped himself in the most impressive way. Both Ciftci and the referee had no idea with what was going on. He was eventually issued a yellow card for the foul, and then sent off later in the game for a second booking. Darian MacKinnon will need to take a good, long, hard look at himself when he sees this foul on Dundee United‘s Nadir Ciftci which must go down as the weirdest tackle we’ve ever seen. MacKinnon, who has previously spent time in Polmont’s Young Offenders Institute for assault, lost out to an aerial challenge from Ciftci and responded by locking his leg in the ground so the Turkish striker couldn't get up. The strange foul earned MacKinnon a caution and he was unsurprisingly sent off a minute later for a more conventional professional foul. Ballroom dance? Attempted martial art? Wrestling move? Only MacKinnon knows what he was trying to do during the weekend's game where everyone else seemed confused by the incident - including the bewildered referee. Hamilton Academical player Darian McKinnon commits weirdest foul ever against St Mirren Clingy: McKinnon committed one of the strangest fouls ever against St Mirren. Hamilton Academical’s Darian McKinnon has shown that some footballers just like to be held now and again with this bizarre foul. After a coming together with an opponent, McKinnon then did his best impression of a four-year-old clinging onto his mum’s leg, and just did not want to let go. Even after play had stopped, the Hamilton player was still intent on holding onto his adversary in an extremely strange piece of play. McKinnon did get away without a booking, though, and his side went on to beat St Mirren 3-0.
