Ally McCoist has branded Max Aarons' red card for Rangers vs Club Brugge this evening 'embarrassing'.
Brugge forward Christos Tzolis quickly latched on to a long ball over the top, shortly after Nicolo Tresoldi opened the scoring within five minutes.
Aarons tugged his shirt and brought him down. As he was the last man and it was a clear goalscoring opportunity, the full-back was given his marching orders.

"What is he thinking about?" said McCoist, live on TNT Sports, immediately after the incident.
"It's a punt up the pitch. I mean, that's embarrassing defending, it's schoolboy defending. Just get goalside of him, and match the run. That is absolutely carcrash material, it really is."
Going into the game, Rangers boss Russell Martin dropped midfielder Nicolas Raskin.
Explaining the decision pre-match, he said [RangersTV]: "We're trying to go as attacking as we possibly can and get as many goals on the pitch as we possibly can.
"We really like what Thelo has brought to the team, and Lyall deserves to play.
"We've just gone for real energy, real attacking intent, and hopefully it will be enough.
"But the team that starts the game won't be the team that finishes it, so everyone needs to be ready."
