ALF’S 3-GAME BAN

RANGERS have suffered a double disciplinary blow after losing an appeal against Alfredo Morelos’ latest red card and seeing Allan Mcgregor cited.

Morelos will sit out three games in total after a panel convened by the Scottish Football Association threw out a wrongful dismissal claim. The striker was sent off by Bobby Madden for stamping on the groin area of grounded Aberdeen defender Scott Mckenna (left), who was also dismissed for lashing out at his rival.

Rangers goalkeeper Mcgregor faces a two-game ban after being handed a notice of complaint from SFA compliance officer Clare Whyte for catching Dons midfielder Lewis Ferguson during his team’s 4-2 win on Wednesday.

The 37-year-old will discover his fate on Tuesday along with Hibernian defender Darnell Johnson, who was cited for a challenge on Emilio Izaguirre.

Morelos will serve an immediate two-game suspension, ruling him out of today’s Scottish Cup tie at Kilmarnock.
