Not 100% sure this is a red card when watched in full speed but also don’t think it’s a shocking decision either. It was cynical and those kinds of challenges can cause serious injury.

A couple of years ago I was in Glasgow with work. I had a few hours to kill so I went for a run, round the city centre and to Ibrox. It just happened to be after the Old Firm. When I got to Ibrox I ended up helping two drunk fellas - one with blood on his head - into a taxi 😩😂
