Watch bizarre moment Rangers boss Potter is sent off during Celtic Sky Sports Cup tie

Rangers manager Jo Potter was shown a straight red card during the Sky Sports Cup semi-final tie against Celtic.

The Ibrox Women's boss looked stunned as referee Abbie Hendry produced the red card in the 54th minute.

Potter's side had just stormed into a 2-0 lead with a quickfire double after the break as Rio Hardy and Katie Wilkinson found the net minutes into the second half.

Then, in a fairly nothing incident, Potter stopped the ball after it had rolled out of play.

The Rangers boss then balanced the ball on her foot before flicking it into her hands and putting it behind her back.

Celtic player Emma Lawton had looked to quickly retrieve the ball and get play moving when Potter held the ball and pointed to the officials with a thrown-in to Rangers awarded.

Rangers ace Lizzie Arnot then collected the ball and smiled before being left stunned as her manager was shown a red card and ushered up the tunnel.
