The Tin Man 80 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Rangers wait to learn whether French FA will enforce Ryan Kent ban The winger could face a two-match domestic ban after being sent off in a friendly against Lyon PA Images Published 1 hour ago Rangers face a nervous wait to learn if French disciplinary chiefs will enforce Ryan Kent's Veolia Trophy suspension. The winger's dismissal was the only negative from Thursday night's impressive 2-0 win over Lyon. The former Liverpool player was dismissed just before half-time as he reacted to being goaded by the French club's Brazilian midfielder Marcelo with a petulant slap. Now Ibrox boss Steven Gerrard is waiting to learn if the French Football Federation will pass the details of referee Karim Abed's report onto their Hampden counterparts, forcing the Scottish Football Association to issue a two-game ban for violent conduct.

A Hampden source told the PA news agency: "There is no exact science to how these friendly red cards are dealt with. "Some associations do report them, some don't - but the SFA can only act once they have been contacted by the federation of the host country.'' 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tin Man 80 Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 Rangers winger Ryan Kent won’t face a two-match ban for the start of the new Premiership season.Kent was sent off for violent conduct in the club’s 2-0 win over Lyon in France.The attacker was dismissed by referee Karim Abed after he reacted to Brazilian midfielder Marcelo by slapping the player in the face.A red card for violent conduct would normally bring a suspension but for friendlies played in foreign countries, the nation’s governing body has to send details of the red card on to the Scottish FA.The French Football Federation told STV that the match, part of the Veolia Trophy, wasn’t played under their control so they will not be referring the incident to the Scottish FA.If the matter had been sent to the officials at Hampden then Kent would have been forced to miss the opening Premiership matches against Aberdeen on August 1 and St Mirren eight days later.More on this story 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
