ROBBIE Neilson today claimed Cammy Devlin’s ordering off ended Hearts’ chances of staging a comeback against Rangers at Tynecastle – and argued that referee Steven McLean could have let the midfielder off with a yellow card.
Devlin was shown a straight red by the match official for a clumsy challenge on Ibrox winger Rabbi Matondo six minutes before half-time when his team was trailing 2-0.
Neilson was pleased with how his side, who had allowed Antonio Colak to score twice in the opening half an hour, was performing at that stage in the cinch Premiership match and felt that McLean could have let the Australian internationalist off with a booking.
