Two penalty decisions in the match between Hearts and Celtic have been deemed incorrect - but there was no mention of the red card for Yang.
The Scottish FA revealed 26 key match incidents have ended with incorrect outcomes this season with ten wrong decisions communicated to clubs in the most recent update.
Celtic were involved in two of the decisions ruled incorrect by the VAR Independent Review Panel - which features players, managers, coaches and experts on the laws of the game.
Both incidents deemed wrong involving Celtic came in the 2-0 loss to Hearts on March 3 - but neither were to do with the red card shown to Yang.

Yang was ordered off for a high oot as he caught opponent Cochrane in the head with his outstretched boot. A yellow was shown on the pitch but was then upgraded to a red card.
Instead, the panel have stated the penalty awarded to Celtic should have been overturned after a VAR review.
Match official Don Robertson had pointed to the spot after Yang went down in the box under challenge from Alex Cochrane - but the panel have deemed the call incorrect.
The review also came to the conclusion that the penalty awarded to Hearts - for a Tomoki Iwata handball - should not have been given either.
