Neil Warnock reacts instantly to Rangers controversy v Aberdeen, ‘we don’t get that in England’
In response to the referee’s decision to uphold Dujon Sterling’s red card during Rangers vs. Aberdeen, Neil Warnock responded immediately.
Late in the Scottish Premiership match on Tuesday, February 6, at Ibrox, the midfield player received a straight red card, which the home team eventually won 2-1.
Although VAR suggested that the referee reconsider the ruling, the official remained with the red card after pausing to watch the replays of the tackle on Jack McKenzie.
“It makes a change doesn’t it for a referee to be brave and stick with his decision, we don’t get that in England,” Warnock said on Sky Sports Football (5 February, 10.35pm).
Sterling unlucky for Rangers?
On his Aberdeen debut, Warnock was given the worst possible matchup—Rangers are without a doubt the most successful team in Scottish football right now.
Even if the manager has a stellar record in the dugout and has experienced it all, this journey to Ibrox would have been intimidating.
From the first whistle, the Glasgow stadium was resounding with cheers, and the home crowd knew exactly what was at risk.
Philippe Clement’s team would have surpassed fierce rivals Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership table with a three-goal victory.
Although it didn’t quite work out that way, the Bhoys presently lead the Gers in points solely due to goal differential.
Thanks to a goal by Rabbi Matondo, the hosts got off to a great start. However, Bojan Miovski’s goal tied the score just before
halftime. After that, Todd Cantwell gave the Ibrox club the lead, but Sterling’s departure made the last few minutes nervous for the home team.
Even though the midfielder only recently entered the game as a substitute, it was a hasty choice to fly in despite the fact that he may have slid during the challenge.
