RANGERS have been successful in their appeal against the red card shown to Ryan Jack against Kilmarnock.
The midfielder, who was called into the Scotland squad for the first time earlier this week, was sent off at the end of his side's 1-1 draw with Kilmarnock on 25 October.
It was the third time this season Jack has been shown red, but the Scottish FA confirmed on Thursday that the decision has been overturned for the second time this term.

He previously won an appeal against the red card shown to him during the Premiership defeat to Hibernian in August.
A disciplinary tribunal decided to downgrade the offence from 'violent conduct' to 'unsporting behaviour' and the Gers man has received a caution instead.
In a further disciplinary update, Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson has been handed an immediate one-match suspension for committing misconduct during his side's 2-0 Betfred Cup semi-final win over Rangers on 22 October.
He was sent to the stand during a fiery Hampden Park clash, but is now clear to be in the dugout when his side take on Celtic in the final on 26 November.
However, Robinson will receive a further one-match ban if he breaks the rule again before the end of the campaign.
