Rangers will appeal the red card shown to Mohamed Diomande in their win over Dundee United.
The visitors came from behind to win away from home for the first time in the Scottish Premiership this season, with Diomande, Robin Propper and Cyriel Dessers' goals cancelling out an early opener from Sam Dalby.
In the final moments of the encounter at Tannadice, there was red card drama though as referee Nick Walsh sent off Diomande for reacting to a push from Kevin Holt.
The midfielder appeared to raise his hand in the direction of the defender, however, replays could not conclusively show that any contact was made.

Kris Boyd was left fuming at the decision, which VAR appeared to have doubt over after sending Walsh to the pitchside monitor to check, as the pundit slammed it as 'embarrassing'.
Philippe Clement insists his player was 'attacked' by Holt, as he revealed the club will appeal the call.
The Belgian said: "I saw it back now, as I knew this question was coming.
"I totally don't understand it. We're going to appeal it as a club.
"The VAR was clearly also of that opinion or otherwise they don't ask the referee to come over to the screen.
"My opinion is that it is totally not a red card. If that's a red card then every game there will be three, four or five red cards.
"My player got attacked in that moment when he got pushed.
"He had a small reaction with his hand without even touching the opponent.
"The maximum both could have is yellow. Giving a red card for that, that's incredible."
