Rangers boss Steven Gerrard tells Celtic boss Neil Lennon there is no point getting the violin out over Ryan Christie’s ban

Celtic midfielder Ryan Christie has been hit with a three-game ban for grabbing Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos in the groin area during last month’s Old Firm clash, and the SFA’s decision has left the Hoops and boss Neil Lennon fuming.

The Parkhead outfit has called for consistency after no action was taken against Morelos after his clashes with Christie, Scott Brown and Anthony Ralston in a derby last season, but Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has told them not to get the violin out over the ban.

While the Light Blues manager also wants more consistency in the officiating and SFA decisions, he believes Celtic have to get on with it at the end of the day.
