On this day...

In 2006, Dundee's Andy McLaren received three red cards when his side lost 2-1 at Clyde in a Scottish second division match. The forward was shown a red card for aiming a blow at Clyde's Eddie Malone on 87 minutes. He then struck Michael McGowan in the face as he left the pitch. Referee Dougie McDonald was alerted to the second offence by an assistant, but McLaren had already raced up the tunnel. The match official called McLaren to his dressing room after the match to administer a second red card. But McLaren then kicked the door of the official's room, leaving a small hole, and earned a third red.
