Alfredo Morelos sent off as Rangers reduced to nine-men versus Hibs

Alfredo Morelos sent off as Rangers reduced to NINE-men versus Hibs

RANGERS were embroiled in drama today after being reduced to NINE-men against Hibs.

Alfredo Morelos was shown a straight red card by referee Willie Collum in the lunchtime kick-off. 

The game finished 2-2 after a late equaliser from Josh Campbell.

The Colombian could be seen throwing his arm back onto the face of Marijan Čabraja.

Collum deemed the contact to be enough to send the striker off.

It was the eighth red card of Morelos' Rangers career.

It comes after John Lundstram was also given his marching orders by Collum for a cynical challenge on Martin Boyle.

Andy Walker was far from convinced that the red for Morelos was the correct decision though.

He said: "I can't believe it. There's a little collision and a flick. 

"To me is it not serious foul play. It's not violent conduct, it's not a red card."

James Tavernier, Boyle and Tom Lawrence bagged the other goals of the match.
