Ryan Jack is on the cusp of a call-up to the Scotland national side – but there’s plenty of fans who are very annoyed by the news.
The 25-year-old moved from Aberdeen to Rangers during the most recent transfer window, and has enjoyed a mixed start to life as a first-team player at Ibrox.
Jack started the season with a string of decent displays, but three red cards in his opening 14 matches as a Gers midfielder has overshadowed his performances, and perhaps even cast doubt on his temperament to play at the highest level.
His latest dismissal came after a ridiculous clash with Kilmarnock’s Kirk Broadfoot last Wednesday night, but the Daily Record are claiming Scotland caretaker boss Malky Mackay has opted to call-up Jack for next month’s friendly with Holland at Pittodrie – prompting a bit of an outcry on social media:

This is what is wrong with Scottish football. Ryan Jack signs for rangers plays mediocre gets sent of 3 times and gets called up by Scotland

Struggling to believe that Ryan Jack, in current form anyway, is worthy of a call up to the international squad.

Calling up Ryan Jack is enough reason alone for Malky Mackay not to be given the Scotland job

I’m absolutely fine with Ryan Jack in the Scotland squad. The more goals Holland scud us by, the better. Get rid of Mackay ASAP.
— Matt Greer (@JussiTheCat) October 29, 2017
Quite the reaction, eh?
Is Jack getting called-up really that much of a poor decision?
What do you think?
