Rangers reacted to controversy

Following the controversial decision to dismiss Dujon Sterling in the last seconds of Rangers’ 2-1 victory over

Aberdeen on Tuesday, February 6, Alan Brazil and Ally McCoist have responded.

With two minutes remaining in the Scottish Premiership, the former Chelsea player was sent off

as the Gers looked to seal the win and draw level on points with Old Firm rivals Celtic.

Brazil was incensed over the decision, but McCoist could only chuckle at the circumstances,

highlighting the irony of the contentious time at Ibrox.

We both complain every week about the referees using VAR and how some of them lack the

conviction to stick with their calls. Live on talkSPORT on Wednesday, February 7th, at 6:11 a.m.,

McCoist said

McCoist continued in hysterics, saying, “Well, the referee did it last night, and he was wrong.

You really couldn’t make it up.

Oh, I’m done,” Brazil answered.

It is evident to anyone who witnessed the game that McCoist is correct. Given that Sterling didn’t constitute

a threat to the Aberdeen player and had no malicious intent, he shouldn’t have been sent out for the

unintentional challenge. While there is a need for referees to be more tough, most fans simply want

officials to be consistent during games. Rangers should appeal the “harsh” ruling since it should be

a straightforward one. They are likely to do so.

There was a lot of controversy surrounding the match against Aberdeen; in the first half,

Connor Goldson stopped a shot during a scramble in the box, prompting calls for the visitors

to be given a penalty. Considering that he moved from full-back to midfield this season,

Sterling has excelled under Philippe Clement. More than the late tackle itself, it was perhaps

Jack McKenzie’s response to the challenge that convinced the referee to call it.

There’s no disputing that it was a clear foul, possibly even deserving of a yellow card.

However, the red card was the incorrect call, and referee Don Robertson even had an

opportunity to correct his error. He declined to do so, which increased the pressure on

Rangers in the game’s final minutes.
