pete 2,499 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Rangers skipper Lee McCulloch will fight his two-match stamp ban 14:51, 11 February 2015 By Record Sport Online THE defender will learn his fate tomorrow but if he is found guilty his punishment could be increased. SNS Group Rangers' captain Lee McCulloch struggles to take in the Ramsdens Cup defeat LEE McCULLOCH will fight the two-match ban he was offered for allegedly stamping on Raith’s Dale Carrick at the weekend. The Rangers skipper, 36, stands accused of violent conduct during the Scottish Cup defeat on Sunday. McCulloch’s hearing will be held tomorrow. If he is found guilty he will miss Friday’s Championship clash with Hibs and his next Scottish Cup tie. His ban could also be increased. Some fans were incensed at McCulloch during the QTS Scottish League Cup semi-final defeat to Celtic a week ago – accusing him of stamping on John Guidetti. But the SFA found no evidence. Some may be hoping that big lee misses the Hibs game. It would have been better if Streete wasn't injured though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 5,257 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Fairly straightforward matter of intent or couldn't avoid putting his foot on the player. If it's a balance of probabilities then I think the verdict will be upheld and his ban will increase to three games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Looking at the replay, it seemed purely accidental. You have to wonder whether some people accusing him have played any physical sport never mind just football. He had to land somewhere and looked to cushion his impact in contrast to maliciously trying to cause damage. Bet the guy wasn't unduly injured. Whether you want him to play is another story. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calgacus 8 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Some may be hoping that big lee misses the Hibs game. It would have been better if Streete wasn't injured though. Let's hope he doesn't ever have another Scottish Cup game..or at least for us anyway 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Bear 0 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Might get more than two games (please) and by the time he comes back somebody might have took his place. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinstein 294 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I don't think there was intent. The complaint will be dismissed I reckon 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,808 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Not sure whether Mohsni will be back by then, but Zaliukas and Faure are fit and far better CDs than McCulloch. It is quite sad that neither McCoist nor McDowall had the guts to bench McCulloch, at least when it came to defence duties. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoodyBlue 0 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Whatever happens, I'd be delighted if Lee McCulloch never wore a Rangers jersey ever again. Edited February 11, 2015 by MoodyBlue 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,429 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I was hoping he was going to appeal it, only so as his ban can be increased and he can miss more games as he is by far the worst "defender" I have seen at Ibrox in many years. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Fairly straightforward matter of intent or couldn't avoid putting his foot on the player. Jig is very cute when it comes to the dirtier side of the game. The previous week in the League Cup at Hampden there were at least two actions from him which could have seen him given a straight red if he hadn't been so cute about it and avoided detection. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
