Gillingham’s former loan midfielder Scott Robertson will miss out on meeting with his old team this Saturday after being hit with a ban for violent conduct.

Robertson spent the first half of last season at Priestfield on loan from Scottish Premiership side Celtic but struggled for regular game-time and finished the season at Doncaster. He's now playing for Gills' weekend opponents Crewe.

He joined Crewe on loan this season and has been a regular starter for them, making 12 appearances so far. Gills play Crewe this Saturday but Robertson will sit it out after being handed a three-match ban after stamping on an opponent.

That incident happened in Crewe’s 2-0 loss against Bolton last Friday.

Match officials missed the incident at the time, towards the end of the game, but the player was charged on video evidence and he’s accepted a standard penalty.

Gillingham could come up against their former striker Mikael Mandron, however. He’s scored three goals this season in the league for the bottom-placed side.
