Michael Gannon: The tackle was unnecessary and probably a red these days. The extra game ban looks harsh but Aberdeen must have known they were on to plumbs with the appeal. Andrew Newport: It’s a stick on red card under the laws of the game these days so for me, he was bang to rights.
The extra game ban seems harsh, however. As ever common sense in short supply at Hampden. Fraser Wilson: The red card was harsh so I completely understand the Dons’ appeal - particularly when there are similar cases which have been won.
For the SFA to deem it frivolous and add an extra game on is a shocker. Michael Gannon: There’s a fag paper between them.
Ange Postecoglou’s side are up against a stronger Rangers but for 18 months the Rodgers crew were sensational. Andrew Newport: Not yet.
