Dumbarton winger Ally Love claims he received death threats after a challenge that saw Rangers starlet Alex Lowry stretchered off in Tuesday’s Challenge Cup tie.
The Sons forward was booked for lunging in on the 19-year-old in the final minute of the 7-0 thrashing but insists he would never intentionally go into a challenge to hurt a player. Record Sport has learned the SFA compliance officer has opted not to take any action against the 31-year-old despite being aware of the incident. But Love was slammed by Gers B team coach David McCallum after the match - and has been the target of threats online.
The former Clyde, Brechin and Albion Rovers player said: “I want to put out there after death threats and people online asking me to die over this tackle - I hope Alex is ok. By no means would I want to deliberately injure anyone.
Rangers are waiting to discover the extent of Lowry’s injury. But B boss McCallum was furious after the whistle in Tuesday’s clash at the Dumbarton Football Stadium. He said: “I've just watched one of our brightest talents get a tackle that I thought was wrong.
"I thought that with the timing of the game, the game was gone, there's no need for that to happen. We've now got someone sitting in that dressing room in Alex Lowry who has got a real sore one.
"I want to talk to the players about the performance, because it was a really strong performance but right now my emotions are more concerned about Alex. My concerns are there for a tackle that I've watched back and is nothing short of wrong and it was wrong at this time of the game for sure."
