The former Aberdeen skipper lasted just 65 minutes as he made his first appearance at his former stomping ground in a Gers kit. He was dismissed by referee Willie Collum after planting his studs into Dons striker Stevie May's shin as he followed through after winning the ball in a tackle.

It was the fourth time he has seen red in just 19 appearances for the Light Blues - although two of those sendings-off were later overturned on appeal.

However, Jack's latest challenge has failed, with the Scottish Football Association's fast-track disciplinary tribunal deciding to dismiss his protest.

The 25-year-old will now miss Saturday's Ibrox clash Ross County as well as next week's showdowns with Hibernian and St Johnstone
