Tam McManus has accused Rangers of ‘sour grapes’ after their eight point complaint letter was handed to the SFA.
The Ibrox club have held talks with the governing body after Tuesday’s contentious 1-1 draw with Aberdeen.
But ex-Hibs striker McManus told PLZ Soccer, Rangers haven’t been consistent when it comes to complaints.
He said: “I think they’ve got a point because the referee was poor, lets not beat about the bush, the referee was poor on the night for both teams.
“To come out after that game in particular, when Rangers have not had a man sent off in over 2 years, it’s a wee bit sour grapes for me.
“There’s been decisions in the past where Rangers have benefitted, when Rangers players should have got sent off during games in key periods.
“Off the top of my head, Morelos stamping on Porteous and Rangers won the game 1-0. I think Morelos again with the swinging arm when he got done retrospectively.
“There’s been decisions that have gone Rangers’ way and they’ve never complained about it to the SFA.
“This decision has went against them, the first red card in over 2 years, and they go moaning to the SFA.
