Rangers may have won against Hibernian, getting back to winning ways, but they are not completely happy after the game.
That’s because they feel they have been hard-done-by due to the referee’s decision making, specifically referencing Lewis Stevenson.
The Hibernian defender was eventually booked for a foul on George Edmundson, but they feel that he massively got away with one before that.
This feeling comes from the moment that Allan McGregor kicked the ball up the pitch to Alfredo Morelos, who was being marked by the 32-year-old.
If the Colombian had turned him he would have had plenty of space to run into, but Stevenson ensured that didn’t happen, as he pretty much jumped on his back and wrestled the Rangers striker to the floor.
Gers fans couldn’t believe that he wasn’t given a booking for that attempt at what can loosely be called a challenge, and quite frankly, they are completely within their rights to feel that way.
They have also felt that had it been the other way round, then Morelos would definitely have been picking up a yellow at least – in truth, he did very well to remain calm considering his fiery nature.
The Colombian has certainly picked up a reputation, having amassed 16 yellow cards and five reds last season, while it can be suggested that last season’s misdemeanours have followed him into the current campaign.
This term, he has been handed two red cards – both given for two bookings – while it can be said that the second yellow against Motherwell, which was given for his celebration, was very harsh.
Meanwhile, one Rangers man was slated by fans for his performance against Hibernian.
