John Kennedy expects Rangers star Ryan Kent to be punished for striking Scott Brown

John Kennedy expects Ryan Kent to be punished for striking Celtic captain Scott Brown .

The Rangers winger escaped action from referee Bobby Madden after lashing out at the midfielder in the closing stages of the Hoops 2-1 win at Parkhead on Sunday.

The SFA compliance officer has until 3pm on Tuesday to take retrospective action following a powderkeg afternoon in which Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos was also sent off.

"I think they will obviously have to look at it and they will decide for themselves, but it's hard not to punish that," Kennedy said.

"I think on the pitch as professionals you have got to be responsible for your own actions and in this day and age with the cameras they have, even if the officials miss it, you can't get away with it.

"That's Rangers' problem, not ours. The SFA will deal with that but in terms of the discipline and attitude of our players, it was first class.

"It's a game of a lot of emotion. Throughout it, our players handled it very well. And they have done over a period of time.

"There's a mentality here where they fight and work and stick up for each other but they know that they don't overstep the mark because ultimately they let their team-mates down."
