You think that’s a Red?

Of course they will
I’ve no idea how anybody seeing the angle where the contact is the toes could possibly see that as a red. I’m not sure Robertson saw that angle. If what they were showing the ref at the screen was what TV was showing then they didn’t and I’d want to know why they didn’t show all the angles
What makes it worse is the obvious second yellow he didn’t show Duk minutes earlier. Actually Duks forearm smash was more a red card than Sterling’s. Both were bookings

Just seen a video clip of the red card from last night.
Bare in mind Corrie Ndaba was sent off for Killie vs Hibs only a couple of weeks ago for this:
And a tackle of a different sort was Vassell being sent off Vs the same opposition last season for this:
Now neither of those two are red cards. But the difference is I don't think there's a huge pro Hibs anti Killie conspiracy going on amongst officials and the SFA. It's simple incompetence.
Comparing the Ndaba one to the Sterling one last night, I don't think anyone would disagree that Sterling's tackle is much worse. Sterling gets nothing on the ball whatsoever and the red is justified. There's no conspiracy, and although some people in this country aren't used to seeing Rangers being fairly penalised, it doesn't make it wrong.

When Chris Sutton says it was never a Red I think we can be fairly certain it’s not a Red
When VAR officials tell Ref to go to screen as he’s made an obvious mistake then you can be sure it’s not a Red
Now seeing it in real time he can be forgiven but to see that replay where it’s clearly foot to foot and still give a Red is unforgivable
Not surprised a Killie fan is defending the officials with the laughable decisions they’ve had in their favour this season v Rangers
In doctors so can’t play your videos but the second one looks similar to this ….
No Red card and not sure if even booked.
A few weeks ago we had Cifu Red carded when he tried to pull out a challenge but landed on a pkayers thigh with zero intent. Red card was upheld even after it was appealed
That same weekend a Motherwell player, possibly SoD stood on Butlands head as the keeper lay on the ground. Nothing !!
It’s every week with the exception of Livi who have had a couple of debatable decisions given against them but they were not changing the match results

Ffs ya crackpot!
You believe that first Killie challenge is similar to Sterling’s? You’re not being serious?
If Sterling made contact between ankle and knee , as the Killie player does, there’s zero complaint. Red card all day long!
Sterling foot is on the ground and never leaves the ground and makes contact with Sheep players FOOT!!!
There is zero similarity between the challenges. Ryan Jack was sent off at Pittodrie for almost an identical tackle to the Killie challenge and in the centre circle. Both softish but as the rules stand they are Reds
