RANGERS are bemused that a notice of complaint has been raised against Steven Gerrard, for comments relating to the challenge which caused injury to Alfredo Morelos.
This is a bizarre charge which we will robustly contest at the scheduled hearing.
As is often the case, Steven Gerrard was asked for his view on a flashpoint in the match, with leading questions relating to the challenge that caused the injury and whether it should have been deemed a red card. On several occasions, he refused to do so.
Given the wide range of incidents in Scottish football so far this season, we are perplexed that this issue has been raised and cited for complaint.
Whilst our national sport faces an unprecedented crisis, it is baffling that resources are used to charge Rangers’ Manager based on a flawed and inaccurate interpretation of Steven Gerrard’s remarks.
Rangers will fully support its Manager against this charge during the scheduled hearing.
