Todd Cantwell "got out of jail" by escaping a red card for a late tackle on PSV's Sergino Dest during the second half of last night's Champions League tie.
The Rangers midfielder, already on a booking, went flying into a challenge on the full-back during the second period at Ibrox.
Referee Clément Turpin gave the former Norwich player a talking-to, clearly reminding him that he was already on a yellow card.
And BBC pundits Neil McCann and Steven Thompson claimed Cantwell was fortunate to remain on the park and could easily have been sent off.
McCann said on Sportsound: "I tell you what, he's got out of jail here you know.
"I tell you, his heart must be beating. He slides in there and the trailing left leg just catches. The referee has done him a real favour. That's a rush of blood to the head from Cantwell."
Former Ibrox striker Thompson added: "Well he has been rushing about and pressing ever so well tonight to put the PSV players under pressure but he's got to realise he's on a yellow card now. That was a crazy, crazy challenge to make."
The first leg of the play-off finished 2-2, with Abdallah Sima and Rabbi Matondo grabbing the goals for the hosts.
Those strikes were canceled out by Ibrahim Sangare and Luuk de Jong for the visitors.
James Tavernier, Danilo, and Matondo all had chances during the second half to score a third for the hosts, but the game remains in a stalemate ahead of next week's return leg in Eindhoven.
