Steven Hammell in Rangers red card claim as Motherwell boss insists Leon King should've walked

Motherwell boss Steven Hammell is adamant Rangers should have been reduced to ten men at Fir Park. The Steelmen were pushing for a leveller when Stuart McKinstry was brought crashing down by Leon King as the winger looked to break forward in a dangerous position.

James Tavernier was tracking back, with referee David Dickinson only deeming the foul worthy of a yellow card. But Hammell insists King should have walked for the excessive force he put into the challenge, with Motherwell going on to lose the match 2-1.

Hammell said: "I think it's a red card. Not for where it is on the pitch and where Stuart is going to, that's up for debate.

I think the actual tackle in isolation is poor. I think he catches him high and there's a lot of force in it. I think Stuart's lucky to come away from it without an injury. “Would VAR see it?
