SHAY Logan will start next season with a three-match ban after Aberdeen failed to overturn the defender’s red card from Sunday’s clash with Celtic.
The full-back was sent-off by referee Craig Thomson for violent conduct after the full-time whistle as he celebrated Aberdeen's 1-0 victory at Parkhead that secured them second spot.
The 30-year-old became embroiled with a number of the Celtic players and appeared to push Mikael Lustig in the face before being pursued towards the tunnel by Dedryck Boyata.
The Pittodrie outfit appealed the decision but that was dismissed at a fast track tribunal hearing.
Logan will now serve a two-game suspension for Sunday’s red card, but was already facing a ban for Aberdeen’s opening league game of next season after going over the Scottish FA’s six-caution disciplinary threshold with his booking in the recent 1-1 draw with Rangers.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
