Angry McCoist considers McCulloch appeal
The former Scotland star was given a straight red card in the 23rd minute by referee Stevie McLean which will rule him out of Wednesday’s visit to Celtic.
Defender Doran Goian was also sent off for two jersey pulling offences but it’s McCulloch’s red card that McCoist is considering appealing against.
“We will have a look at it again in the next couple of hours and decide whether we are going to appeal,” the Rangers boss told Sky Sports after today’s match. “I’ll have a chat with Lee but it’s a distinct possibility.
“There is no doubt it changed the game. The ball actually went into the back of the net as well, which a lot of people maybe forget, so it might have been 2-0.
“I’ve seen it once and I would have to say it was extremely harsh. I’ve had a good chat with Lee McCulloch and he assures me there was no malice at all and he was just trying to fend the boy off. The boy actually had an arm around his waist.
“I’m a wee bit disappointed with how the boy went down to be honest with you and no physio came on to my knowledge.
“It changed the game, there is no doubt about it, and we are disappointed with it.”
Former Celt Paul McGowan scored the winner for the Paisley side after Aaron Mooy had cancelled out Lee Wallace’s opener.
