Dujon Sterling red card appeal thrown out as panel uphold ref’s decision v Aberdeen 

Following the 24-year-old’s dismissal by referee Don Robertson during the midweek victory over Aberdeen, the Gers filed a fast track tribunal case.Following a fast-track hearing, the SFA rejected Dujon Sterling’s red card appeal. During an Ibrox midweek match against Aberdeen, Sterling was sent off.

Referee Don Robertson maintained his judgment to send Sterling off even after analyzing the incident. Sterling will thus miss two games, according to the Daily Record.

 

Bobby Madden, a former top tier referee, posted his reflections on the event to Instagram yesterday. “Red card issued in real time, and VAR suggests on field review with referee standing by original decision,” he wrote. This choice is difficult. You cannot pay attention to the point of contact alone. Yes, that is the top of the foot, but you also need to take into account the ball’s speed, intensity, and playability. “”If pressed, I would lean cautionary, but I would also argue that there are grounds for a red card, therefore I think the referee’s ruling should stand and no VAR review should be suggested. Whether we use VAR or not, there will always be arbitrary rulings, so we should stop replaying games.”

Following the 2-1 victory, manager Philippe Clement said of Sterling’s dismissal, saying, “That was a harsh decision for me.” Dujon tripped and collided with the opponent’s toes. Up till now, I haven’t seen many red cards that allow you to touch the opponent’s toes. I cannot recall a single moment if I were to look back.

That is a severe one, which makes the game’s conclusion challenging. However, I am aware that it is a challenging career because we are required to make decisions on a daily basis while in training. We have to accept the referee’s decision at the end.”

With the game-winning goal, Todd Cantwell gave his team a vital three points. Rabbi Matondo opened the score by taking advantage of a Kelle Roos rebound. After Connor Barron found him, Bojan Miovski capitalized on his opportunity to finish strongly in the first half. Roos made a nice save to deny Tom Lawrence, but Cantwell was the one to seize the chance.

Rangers held on for ten minutes, including stoppage time, to tie Celtic at the top before their trip to Hibs, but Sterling’s dismissal created a tight conclusion.

After a crucial victory 24 hours later, the champions sealed the deal with an added-time penalty, giving Brendan Rodgers’ squad a much-needed triumph. When the Hoops play Ross County midweek, they have the opportunity to reduce the deficit and maybe grab the lead with a three-point advantage and a +2 goal differential in their favor.
