Rangers appeared to take a dig at Celtic on social media
Rangers look to have taken a dig at Celtic following another controversial Scottish football moment.
It was confirmed on Monday that Alfredo Morelos would be suspended for three games, with the Ibrox club accepting a charge of violent conduct against the striker.
Morelos appeared to stamp on Ryan Porteous in Rangers’ 1-0 win against Hibs at Easter Road in January, before going on to score the game’s only goal.
Celtic captain Scott Brown scored the game’s opener against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Tuesday night, but cameras showed the midfielder’s elbow making contact with the home side’s Aaron Tshibola.
The connection went unpunished, but Rangers appear to have drawn a comparison between that incident and the one which led to Morelos’ suspension.
Earlier on Tuesday, Rangers had shared a quote from Steven Gerrard on the subject of SFA disciplinary processes.
The manager said: “I think that is what every manager wants – a level of consistency and for every player or every incident to be judged in the same way so we find that level of consistency.”
Shortly after the full-time whistle was blown in Kilmarnock, Rangers shared the tweet again with a one-word caption reading: “Consistency.”
The 35-year-old was sent off in January’s 2-2 draw between Livingston and Celtic at the Tony Macaroni Arena, and speaking after this week’s match his manager Neil Lennon insisted this incident was not as serious.
He told Sky Sports: “I didn’t think there was anything in it.
“Whereas, at Livingston two weeks ago, it looked a little bit more deliberate.
“But I don’t think there was anything in that tonight at all.”
Morelos is set to miss upcoming Premiership fixtures against St Johnstone, Hamilton Accies and Kilmarnock.
