DUFFY FEELS HARD DONE BY

DUNDEE midfielder Michael Duffy insists Rangers goalscorer Harry Forrester should have been sent off before he was hauled off. Booked early in the second half, the attacker escaped a second yellow for two even more risky challenges on Cammy Kerr and Duffy. And on-loan Celtic player Duffy, 22, believes referee Craig Thomson robbed Dundee of a chance to get back in the game at 2-1 down. ‘I thought Harry Forrester should have been off the park,’ he insisted. ‘He should have been off even before his challenge on me because he had one on Cammy Kerr. ‘I thought he could have gone for Cammy’s one and he was late on me — so I don’ t know how he managed to stay on the pitch after that one. ‘The referee didn’t say anything to me, but if he’d sent him off then it would have changed the game. ‘But what can you do? Sometimes it’s hard to make decisions on big days like that but he should’ve been sent off. ‘It would definitely have helped us but the decision didn’t go our way. His studs caught my ankle and it was undoubtedly a booking.’ Forrester admitted after the game he would have to ‘tone it down a bit’, blaming his recklessness on ‘commitment’. Urging his team-mate to learn from the experience, second goalscorer Kenny Miller admitted Forrester had to be taken off for his own good. ‘I was off the park but I told Davie Weir to get Harry off,’ said Miller. ‘When he loses the ball, he’s quick to try and get it back but you can’t dive into tackles when you’re on a booking. ‘He knew that and we got him off once he got let off after diving into a second tackle. ‘He’ll be better for that and realise he can’t dive in. ‘There wasn’t a lot of malice in the tackles, they were maybe just a wee bit late. ‘I don’t think they were worthy of a red and the first one maybe not even a booking, so it might have levelled itself up.’
