Gers surprised by Lee's red card

05 May 2010 12:10
Rangers have questioned Lee McCulloch's sending off in Tuesday night's Old Firm derby which has seen the midfielder hit with a three-match ban.[LNB] McCulloch saw red for a second bookable offence after sliding in on Aiden McGeady in the closing stages of Celtic's 2-1 win at Parkhead.[LNB]In confirming the midfielder's suspension for the opening two matches of next season on their official website, Rangers claimed McCulloch "made little contact" with McGeady.[LNB]McCulloch will miss Sunday's final game of the campaign against Motherwell and next term's opening two matches.[LNB]That is because his two yellow cards took him over the 18 penalty points threshold.[LNB]Team-mates Kevin Thomson and Kris Boyd, meanwhile, will be walking a disciplinary tightrope if they feature on Sunday.[LNB]Midfielder Thomson's booking on Tuesday night took him to 15 penalty points.[LNB]A three-point yellow card against Motherwell would trigger an automatic two-match ban, starting with the opening game of next season.[LNB]Boyd is sitting on 17 penalty points and a yellow card for any offence would mean a one-match ban for the striker.[LNB]Should Boyd leave Rangers for a club in England this summer, any suspension would be imposed by the English Football Association.
