BBC pundit Michael Stewart has blasted referee Willie Collum's decision to send off John Lundstram in Rangers' 2-2 draw with Hibs at Easter Road.

The midfielder was sent off for a professional foul on Martyn Boyle on the 65th minute as the Australia international was breaking at pace.

"Alfredo Morelos' sending off, there's no question. Morelos' red card was the one decision Willie Collum got right. Absolute madness. It's a red card all day long."
