Willie Collum got his angles wrong when sending off John Lundstram at the weekend, according to former English Premier League ref Dermot Gallagher.
The Rangers midfielder was shown a straight red for a cynical foul on Martin Boyle during their 2-2 draw with Hibs at Easter Road. The Ibrox club have today appealed the decision in the iope that it is retrospectively downgraded to a yellow and his case will be heard by an SFA disciplinary panel this week.
A similar challenge by Jake Doyle-Hayes on Lundstram earlier in the match didn’t result in a red card, which prompted a furious reaction from the visiting players after Lundstram was handed a harsher punishment. Gallagher, who was reviewing Collum’s calls on Sky Sports, believes that the angles the man in the middle saw both tackles from was the reason he saw one as being worse than the other, when both should have been cautions.
