Rangers star Leon King should have seen red for high tackle on McKinstry, says Motherwell boss

Motherwell boss Steven Hammell insists Rangers defender Leon King should have been sent off in their defeat to the Ibrox side.

The 18-year-old brought down Stuart McKinstry to deny him a goalscoring opportunity as the Steelmen chased a late equaliser at Fir Park, but Hammell feels it is the force of the teenager's tackle on the winger that warranted a red card.

Rangers walked away with all three points as second half efforts from Malik Tillman and John Lundstrum were enough to see off Motherwell, who had pulled a goal back through a McKinstry free-kick 13 minutes from time.
