Adam Devine has been hit with a Rangers first-team ban after his B Team derby red card - and will miss next week's Old Firm derby.
The Scotland Under-21 defender was one of THREE Ibrox players to see red in Sunday’s explosive second-string clash. The fresh-faced full-back got his marching orders for a stoppage-time lunge on Celtic kids skipper Matthew Anderson as Gers finished the 3-1 defeat with just eight men. Devine, 20, has made seven first-team appearances this season but was back on reserve duty as David McCallum’s Light Blue young guns hosted their Parkhead rivals at Ibrox. But he has now been ruled out of next week’s first-team showdown at Celtic Park after his injury-time moment of madness.
Ordinarily, suspensions picked up in the Lowland League would be served in the fifth-tier competition. However, as Devine has played more games for Michael Beale’s top team than McCallum’s academy outfit, he is viewed under SFA rules as a “recognised” first-team squad member and must now serve a two-game senior ban.
