SFA decide not to take retrospective action against Ryan Jack over brutal Tannadice incident

Ryan Jack will escape retrospective justice for his brutal lunge at Dylan Levitt of Dundee United. 

At the very end of Sunday’s match at Tannadice the Ibrox midfielder arrived typically late and planted his studs just below the knee of the United midfielder. 

The incident happened in full view of Bobby Madden but in keeping with his style of refereeing Jack avoided any action at the time. 

In the last 26 months only one Ibrox player, Ryan Kent, has been sent off by a Scottish referee. Last season with a comfortable lead built up in the SPFL three retrospective red cards were dished out for incidents missed by referees during matches. Alfredo Morelos received two retrospective reds with Kemar Roofe the other. 

During 2021 Leon Balogun, Roofe, John Lundstram and Glen Kamara were sent off in UEFA matches, SPFL clubs are reported to be dragging their heels over the introduction of VAR.
