Rangers’ Pena is in the clear

-

Rangers midfielder Carlos Pena will face no action over his off-the-ball clash with Hamilton’s Greg Docherty.

The Mexican found himself at the centre of elbowing allegation­s after TV footage appeared to show him swinging his arm at Docherty during last Friday’s game whichrange­rs won 4-1.

But Scottish Football Associatio­n compliance officer Tony Mcglennan decided against raising a case ahead of Tuesday’s 3pm deadline for the fasttrack disciplina­ry process.

Meanwhile, Rangers have received an apology from the organisers of their cancelled friendly with Benfica in Canada.

Elite Soccer Entertainm­ent blamed “unforeseen reasons and poor ticket sales” for its cancellati­on.

ESE added in a statement: “There has been numerous rumours and speculatio­ns blaming Rangers supporters for not purchasing enough tickets.

“That is a false statement and Elite Soccer Entertainm­ent would like to put it to rest.”
