Antonio Colak was 'lucky' to stay on the pitch for Rangers last night in their Champions League clash with PSV after an incident involving Andre Ramalho.
That's the verdict of former referee Des Roache who claims the Light Blues star was very fortunate not to see red at Ibrox. The summer signing made it four goals in four games as he swept home following a stunning move from Rangers that resulted in skipper James Tavernier teeing up the Croatia cap with a low cross.
The hitman, snapped up by Giovanni van Bronckhorst from PAOK, put in a battling performance up top as he chased down every ball and competed with the Dutch giants backline. One moment off the ball caught the eye of former whistler Roache who reckons the 'striking motion' made is deemed enough to qualify as violent conduct. Explaining his reasons on the Get Involved Referee Podcast, he said: “Quite frankly he was lucky to stay on the pitch. He’s made a striking motion. You talk about serious foul play and endangering an opponent, but you also talk about violent conduct.
