Rangers win appeal over Lundstram red card

Rangers have won their appeal over John Lundstram’s dismissal in Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Hibernian.

The midfielder was shown a straight red card by referee Willie Collum, however, his punishment for a late tackle on Martin Boyle has now been reduced to a yellow card.

It means Lundstram will now be available for Rangers’ next two domestic matches – against Ross County on Saturday in the Scottish Premiership, and Tuesday’s League Cup tie against Queen of the South.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side led 2-1 at the time of the dismissal and were then reduced to nine men when Alfredo Morelos was also shown a straight red.

Speaking on Ref Watch, former Premier League official Dermot Gallagher said: “You look at the referee’s view, you look at where he is… I understand why he’s given a red card on the day.
