James Tavernier in 'angry' Rangers assessment as he points finger at teammate for role in Hibs draw

James Tavernier says Alfredo Morelos' red card against Hibs was completely of his own doing - as he disagrees with John Lundstram's dismissal.

The midfielder was shown down the tunnel by referee Willie Collum for a foul on Martin Boyle as he made his way towards goal, while Morelos saw red for catching Ryan Porteous in the face with his hand. Tavernier had put Rangers ahead and Tom Lawrence restored their lead after Martin Boyle levelled things up. Josh Campbell struck on 93 minutes to make sure the spoils were shared.

Speaking to Rangers TV, the Light Blues captain was left gutted with a point and Morelos' incident: "Disappointed. Angry. But happy to see the character of the boys to the situation that happened. Some of the decision-making in the game maybe cost us. We take the lead in the first half and created some chances. Second half we conceded a sloppy goal.

"Then we put ourselves ahead only to see a decision to be made on us which we thought was a challenge in the first half.

"It's a simple trip and he gets a red card which turns it in their favour. Alfredo's one is stupid. He's going to ask questions.

"We put ourselves on the back foot and I thought the character we have shown (was good). It's obviously disappointing to lose a goal near the end.

"We tried to do everything possible but we obviously leave here with a point. Disappointed, but we have to look forward."
