Livid Rangers fans demand war against SFA but Celtic mischief maker claims it's rivals who should be in the dock - Hotline

Rangers say they will appeal Mohamed Diomande’s Tayside red - and the Hotline jury reckon they’ve got a strong case.

The Ibrox midfielder was sent off after a stoppage-time bust-up with Dundee United defender Kevin Holt. Referee Nick Walsh stuck by his decision to order off the Ivorian midfielder even after being sent to the screen for a second look.

“Another game where VAR has failed to be used to its full in assisting the referee properly reassess his onfield decision. I will be astounded if this is not overturned on appeal. If it is upheld after this the third review, the conspiracy theorists will gain a whole raft of new members.”

Craig Wilson, Kirkintilloch, added: “Yet again, Rangers refereed to a different level to anyone else in Scotland. The game is totally corrupt. Had Diomande been wearing a green and white hooped shirt, there’s no way he receives a yellow card nevermind a red. An absolute farce.
