Rangers appeal Diomande's contentious red card against Dundee United

Rangers manager Philippe Clement has announced the club's intention to appeal against midfielder Mohamed Diomande's controversial red card received during the 3-1 victory over Dundee United. The dismissal occurred in added time after Diomande reacted to a push from United's Kevin Holt, with referee Nick Walsh initially showing a red card supported by VAR review. Clement expressed disbelief over the decision, emphasizing that Diomande's reaction did not warrant a red and suggesting that both players should have received yellow cards instead. Former match officials have indicated that an appeal is unlikely to succeed, noting that Walsh's decision would likely be upheld by the SFA. The incident has sparked considerable debate, with pundits labeling the decision as 'embarrassing' and 'incredible'. Diomande's dismissal adds to the ongoing discussions about officiating standards in Scottish football.
