James Tavernier delivers Alfredo Morelos Rangers red verdict as he opens up on Easter Road calls

James Tavernier has branded Alfredo Morelos' rush of blood against Hibs as 'stupid' as he delivered his verdict over Rangers' two red cards.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men dropped two points in the capital as they played out the final period of the game with nine men after John Lundstram and the Colombian hitman both were dismissed in the second half at Easter Road. Skipper Tavernier has described Lundstram's dismissal for his tackle on Martin Boyle as a 'simple trip' while he was more critical of Morelos' sending-off.

Rangers grabbed the advantage just before the break after Tav fired home from the penalty spot after Rocky Bushiri was penalised for a tug on Antonio Colak. Boyle was then on target early in the second half before Tom Lawrence headed home from Borna Barisic's cross to restore the Light Blues' advantage. But following two red cards from Willie Collum, the visitors had to play the final 15 minutes plus added time with nine men, but they were unable to hold on as Josh Campbell levelled deep into added-time to secure a point for Lee Johnson's men.
