Defender Alex Snow was first cautioned for sarcastically applauding a decision from referee Andy Legg and then red carded for allegedly directing insulting language at the official.
Some 15 minutes from the finish the Scots were reduced to nine players when Dane Sutton was dismissed for serious foul play.
Scottish, who won with goals from Paul Aitken and Paul Duxbury – the latter with a stunning volley from ten yards early on – are a point clear at the top but having played two games more and with three points to be deducted for playing an ineligible player against Rozel Rovers recently manager Pat Brennan says they can not retain the title.
‘It’s out of our reach; we’ve dropped too many points,’ said Brennan.
Disappointed
On his team’s indiscipline last night, Brennan said: ‘We were disappointed with the standard of the referee last night; everyone says he is the top qualified ref in the Island but I’ve no time for him because you can’t talk to him.
The Portuguese Club remain two points above the second relegation place but from two games more played than Rozel Rovers (who will get three points from the Scottish game), Jersey Wanderers and Grouville.
Portuguese Club’s last two league matches are against Rozel Rovers, at Le Couvent on 15 March and then eight days later against title-chasing Trinity at Springfield.
