Steven Gerrard had criticised the confusing red card after the game and Rangers even lodged an appeal on the basis of mistaken identity.
The verdict from the Scottish FA is not exactly satisfactory. It adds more confusion to an already bizarre situation.
Video footage appeared to show Ferdinand antagonising Candeias and not the other way around. There did not seem to be anything from Candeias worthy of even a yellow card.
