Chris Sutton has reacted to the decision by the SFA to rescind the red card issued to Alfredo Morelos against Aberdeen.
In most circumstances the decision to downgrade would be astonishing but as Scottish football fans have discovered it’s best to expect the unexpected when it comes to the SFA and clubs from Ibrox.
When is a kick is not a kick… you’ve got to love the appeals panel!! At least they are consistent ???????? https://t.co/3XtTBDCu0S

Morelos clearly aimed a kick at Scott McKenna, the laws of the game deem that as being a red card offence.
Various apologists have come forward to claim that the decision was harsh while ignoring the laws of the game.
It wasn’t a full blooded kick, McKenna had barged the striker but Morelos did retaliate by kicking out at the Aberdeen defender.
If the Sevco striker tries a similar stunt in the Europa League tie against Maribor he can expect a three match ban with the Ibrox club knowing not to chance their luck with UEFA.
