Jack red card v Kilmarnock is overturned

R angers midfielder Ryan Jack has had another red card rescinded.

A Scottish Football Association fast-track hearing yesterday over turned Jack’ s dismissal for his clash with Kilmarnock defender Kirk Broadfoot.

Jack was shown a straight red card after appearing to push, knee then move his head towards the former Ibroxp layer during a 1-1 Ladbrokes Premier ship draw last week.

He had been shown a yell ow card by referee Alan Muir seconds earlier but the fourth official intervened and Jack was sent off for violent conduct seconds before his team missed a penalty and conceded a stoppage-time equaliser.

The offence has been down graded to a yellow card for unsporting behaviour, meaning Jack is free to face Par tick Thistle tomorrow.

The former Aberdeen player has been sent off three times this season but two red cards have now been overturned on appeal.

Meanwhile, Jack has admitted he was surprised by his Scotland call- up.

The uncapped Jack was included in caretake r manager Malky Mackay’s 24- man pool for next Thursday’s Pittodrie friendly against Holland.

Jack was last called up

more than four years ago for a qualifier against Croatia and is determined to make the most of his unexpected opportunity.

The 25- year- old told the official R angers podcast: “I’m obviously delighted. It’s always an honour and a pleasure to be called up to play for your country. I’m really excited to meet up with the boys and train and be a part of it.

“I had a call-up a few years ago and it gives you a taste for being amongst it. It’s always a good feeling.

“For it to come now, maybe I wasn’ t expecting it, but it’s a great feeling. I’m excited and can’t wait to get going.

“It will be the same for everyone. You want to do as well as you can when we go away with our country. I’m no different, I want to stake a claim and I will work hard to try to do that.”
