Rangers' red card appeal for Candeias rejected

The Portuguese winger was sent-off by referee Willie Collum in the aftermath of Rangers' second goal, scored in stoppage time.

Candeias clashed with St Mirren defender Anton Ferdinand - who appeared to be the aggressor - but the Gers player was the one punished.

Buddies goalkeeper Craig Samson accused Candeias after the game of being "disrespectful" and taunting Ferdinand with his celebrations.

Yellow-card appeals are only permitted in cases of simulation and mistaken identity under SFA rules.

After watching footage of the sending-off in the press room after the game, Rangers boss Steven Gerrard said: "The second yellow card is embarrassing.

"There is your evidence. That's what you're dealing with."
