Rangers' Allan McGregor fortunate after poor Aberdeen challenge

Wednesday night saw an extremely positive performance from Rangers. The players were spirited, competitive and clinical, ensuring they registered a first win in four attempts over Aberdeen this season. However, these things are rarely perfect, and last night was no exception. Alfredo Morelos was sent off for yet another act of petulance. Now, another suspension…

He slides out feet first to scoop up the ball , which he has in his hands when the incident takes place .He keeps his head down and away to protect himself ,because Ferguson is clearly not pulling out ,and is not actually looking at the onrushing Aberdeen player when they clash . It looks bad but its not deliberate.

Let’s see if the SFA compliance officer agrees with this or not - hopefully so!
