Rangers: Alfredo Morelos red card downgraded by SFA tribunal
- Published
Should Morelos have been sent off?
Rangers have been successful with their appeal against the red card shown to Alfredo Morelos in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
The Colombian striker was sent off after 12 minutes when referee Kevin Clancy was alerted to a kick at Dons defender Scott McKenna.
However, a Scottish FA fast-track tribunal has reduced the offence from violent conduct to a yellow card.
Morelos will now be available for Sunday's game against St Mirren.
"I had a good conversation with Alfredo," said manager Steven Gerrard. "The chats that I have with my players will always stay private.
"The card has been rescinded, which we are very happy about.
"But that doesn't take away from the fact that we believe we've dropped two points because of that decision.
"We totally understand how difficult it is to referee these big games and our respect is certainly there. It's just disappointing for us that we're on the receiving end this time round."
