Rangers winger Ryan Kent has been offered a two-match ban by the Scottish FA’s compliance officer following Sunday’s Old Firm clash – and the decision by the Gers to contest the decision is the right one.

James, I agree with you, but you have to remember this is the SFA. Morelos kicked McKenna and got a red card. Brown kicked Morelos and got nothing - no foul, no yellow, nothing.

However there is no way he would have won and there is no way Kent will win , the outcry from the press and the victims xi ensures that it will not be looked at the way you have outlined.
