RANGERS midfielder Ryan Jack has had a red card shown to him in last Saturday’s match against Hibs rescinded.
The midfielder was shown a red card during a heated match at Ibrox for violent conduct, but the SFA’s disciplinary tribunal ruled in the former Aberdeen captain’s favour at an appeal hearing.
He’ll now be in Pedro Caixinha’s squad to face Hearts this Saturday.
It was one of several appeals taking place at Hampden today after a weekend where refereeing decisions were widely criticised.

Earlier, Motherwell succeeded with just one of their three red-card appeals.
Charles Dunne’s dismissal against St Johnstone was overturned, but appeals against Trevor Carson’s sending-off earlier in the game and Dunne’s red card against Ross County three days earlier have both been thrown out.
Carson, who was ordered off after picking the ball up marginally outside his box, will join Carl McHugh on the sidelines when Motherwell host County in the Ladbrokes Premiership on Saturday. McHugh was also sent off during Motherwell’s 4-1 defeat in Perth.
