Ryan Kent has lost his appeal against a two-match ban following an incident with Celtic skipper Scott Brown.
The winger was cited by the SFA for violent conduct as the on-loan Liverpool star appeared to strike the Hoops captain after James Forrest scored a late winner against the Ibrox club.
Rangers decided to appeal the sentence but the governing body has upheld their initial decision. Kent will now miss the game against Motherwell at the weekend and the first game after the split.
Steven Gerrard said earlier today that he didn't believe the incident was of a violent nature and that Kent was just "pushing him away to get him out of his face after he was provoked."
