Very iinteresting view of extract of ICT Rangers match report from Irish Times also same article used in Boston newspaper ....reporter doesn't mince his words.
" Terry Butcher would have been pleased with his sides plucky performance at the interval, what followed was an injustice.
Fifteen minutes into the second half, Ross Tokely made a perfectly timed sliding tackle on Steven Naismith, catching the ball cleanly. Quite unbelievably, Tokely was shown a straight red and Rangers were handed a penalty which Nikica Jelavic fired home.
Inverness were still trying to gather themselves when five minutes later, Rangers striker Doran Goian, went to ground under a weak challenge by Andrew Shinnie. To the amazement of the entire stadium, including Ally McCoist, referee Euan Norris awarded a second penalty. Jelavic?s effort was parried by Caley keeper Ryan Esson, but only as far as Maurice Edu, who side-footed it into the net.
Seven minutes later, Edu himself was shown a second yellow card for a sliding challenge on Nick Ross, resulting in his sending off.
The remainder of the match was played out in bad spirit, with referee Euan Norris trying to quell the situation that was entirely of his own making."
