Rangers striker Kyle Lafferty has admitted Scott Brown was unlucky to be sent off in Sunday's Old Firm derby.

Celtic have appealed against the red card dished out to their captain after a clash with Lafferty.

Rangers went on to seal victory thanks an injury-time goal from Maurice Edu and went 10 points clear of their rivals.

The Northern Ireland international, said: "To produce a red card was harsh but it is the referee's decision and is nothing to do with me.

"There was a bit of a scuffle between us and then he made contact with my chest. There was definite contact. I went down but was straight back up.

"The press in Scotland try to portray me as a bad boy but I just take it with a pinch of salt."
