Rangers midfielder Lee McCulloch has hit out at his sending off in the final Old Firm derby of the season at Celtic Park.[LNB] Gers star McCulloch saw red in Tuesday night's 2-1 defeat at Celtic, ruling him out of Sunday's final SPL game of the campaign against Motherwell.[LNB]The 31-year-old was dismissed after picking up a second yellow card for a tackle on Aiden McGeady, though television replays suggested he may have made no contact with the winger.[LNB]"I am gutted my season ended on Tuesday night," McCulloch said in the Scottish Sun.[LNB]"I never made any contact with their player - TV pictures have proved that - and having been involved all season, I wanted to play my part against Motherwell on the final day.[LNB]"We're at home and the SPL trophy is being presented but I won't be involved.[LNB]"All my family are coming to the game and it's hard to take that I won't be out there on the pitch. Had I committed a second foul then fair enough.[LNB]"I didn't touch him and the sending off was harsh. It is extremely difficult to take."[LNB]McCulloch's suspension, which also sees him banned for the opening two games of next season, will not prevent him joining in the title party this weekend.[LNB]"It has been a great campaign, we've won the league against all the odds," said the midfielder, who has been linked with a summer move to Hannover 96.[LNB]"We're going to enjoy Sunday with the fans, that's for sure."
