Alan Hutton leaves viewers confused after calling for an orange card in Scotland game

Alan Hutton confused viewers over a possible red card challenge in Scotland's clash against Ukraine on Wednesday.

Scotland looked full value for their 3-0 win in Glasgow and look like a much more formidable outfit than the side that faced Ireland earlier this year.

Steve Clarke's side dominated Ukraine en route to victory and the visitors could have had a red card after a challenge on Che Adams.

The Southampton striker looked to be through on goal but only a yellow card was given against him.

But Alan Hutton could not commit to if it was a red card, saying: "I'm just thinking from a defender's point of view here. He actually realises he can't win the ball when Che Adams knocks out his feet and then he steps in towards him.

"The force is obviously huge between the two of them. For me it's more than a yellow but maybe not a red but it should be more than a yellow.

And Kenny Miller quipped: "An orange then."

He continued: "I think it got it right. I think the defender knows he's not getting it and steps across and because of the power and the running of Che Adams that is where the bit of the force is. It might be an orange but it's not a red for me."

And viewers were left confused by the talks of an orange card with one person saying: "What is he talking about"

While another added: "Why is it now an orange"
