Rangers today confirmed they have appealed against the red card that could rule Kenny Miller out of Sunday’s Old Firm derby. The striker Miller was sent off in Wednesday night’s 7-1 Premier League thrashing of Dundee United for kicking out at Darren Dods after the pair tangled on the floor.

Rangers are adamant video replays prove Miller was innocent and have asked referee Willie Collum to look at the incident again.

If he decides it did not warrant a red card, the matter will be referred to the Scottish Football Association’s review panel, who will have the final say.

Meanwhile, the yellow card shown to Lee McCulloch in the same game means he is suspended for the January 16th trip to Hamilton.

It was the midfielder’s sixth booking of the season and earns him a one-match ban.
