PFA Scotland have backed Graeme Shinnie in the wake of his four game ban and insist players have “lost faith” in the disciplinary system.

Aberdeen were left raging after appealing Shinnie’s red card against Ross County last Friday night as Shinnie’s ban was increased for what was seen as a “frivolous appeal” from the PIttodrie club.

They are now without one of their most experienced players until the penultimate game of the season as they look to keep distance between themselves and Hearts in the race for third place.

Now the union that represents players north of the border has weighed in, claiming that they have long held concerns over the “discretionary power" of the judicial panel that reviews appeals, independently of the Scottish FA.
