Jordan Jones of Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers was sent off today.
Neil McCann has told BBC Sport that Rangers winger Jordan Jones might’ve injured himself in the tackle which saw him sent off in this afternoon’s Old Firm.
Second-half substitute Jones picked up a red card in the dying seconds of the Gers’ 2-0 defeat by Celtic at Ibrox today.
The Rangers winger, who only arrived in Glasgow this past summer, cut down the Hoops’ new boy Moritz Bauer.
Jones appeared to be hobbling as he walked off the field, and McCann believes that it could be a case of injury being added to insult for the diehard Bear.
He told BBC Sport: “I hope I’m wrong but I felt he injured himself as well. He’s hobbling off. It looked a really awkward landing and twist. It didn’t look right to me when he was coming off.
“If that’s the case it’s a needless red card and needless injury.”
Jones made it abundantly clear after he joined Rangers from Kilmarnock that he’s a lifelong fan of the Ibrox side.
It doesn’t excuse his challenge on the Celtic defender, but it does go some way toward explaining his frustration.
Goals in each half from Odsonne Edouard and Jonny Hayes consigned Steven Gerrard’s side to the defeat.
