Motherwell took on Rangers in a Scottish Premiership promotion/relegation play-off on Sunday and the most eventful incident of the first half came just off the pitch.

When chasing a ball that had run just out of play, Rangers captain Lee McCulloch was smacked in the face by a flag being held by a Motherwell fan.

The fan was later seen pleading his innocence to a steward—we will let you decide whether it was accidental or not.
