Rangers loanee Chris McKee was given his marching orders whilst playing for loan club Brechin City this afternoon, after allegedly using homophobic language.
The highly-rated Northern Ireland youth internationalist was dismissed just before half-time of the club’s crucial League Two play-off final at home to Barry Ferguson 's Kelty Hearts.
To compound things, Brechin were beaten 1-0 on the day, 3-1 on aggregate, and now drop through the relegation trap door and into the Highland League from next season.
McKee wasn't involved in a challenge that left Kelty 's Dylan Easton grounded for the visitors but was swiftly shown a straight red by the referee after 41 minutes, with the BBC confirming it was for 'foul and abusive language of a homophobic nature.'
The 19-year-old striker joined Rangers in 2018 and signed a new deal at Ibrox last November until 2022, but it remains to be seen what sort of impact today's events will have on his future.
