THERE should have been a red card during the Motherwell vs Rangers game on Sunday. 

Although, not for rising Gers star Leon King.

Kenny Miller believes whistler David Dickinson made the right call not to give the 18-year-old his marching orders for a heavy challenge on Stuart McKinstry.

'Well boss Steven Hammell saw the incident differently, though. 

After the game he commented: “I think it's a red card. Not for where it is on the pitch and where Stuart's going to - that's up for debate - but for the actual tackle in isolation.

“It's poor, he catches him high and there's a lot of force in it.

“I think Stuart's lucky not to come away with an injury on the back of it."

However, Miller reckons the decision to only brandish a yellow card was the correct call.

He told Sportscene: “I don’t think there’s a goalscoring opportunity.

“Maybe you think the tackle might be a bit wild with a lot of force behind it.

“But there’s no doubt he’s gone to play the ball. He’s just mistimed it.

“McKinstry’s got his toe in and I think yellow card is a correct decision."

Miller did think that there should have been a sending off in the game.

The ex-striker believes that Bevis Mugabi should have saw red after appearing to handle the ball to prevent Alfredo Morelos from going clear through on goal.

He said: “I think to the letter of the law there’s no doubt Alfredo Morelos is going to be straight through on goal here.

"When we see the other angle, it may be harsh. But I think to the letter of the law that handball is stopping Morelos from going through to have a goalscoring opportunity.

“I think VAR looks at that and it’s going to be a red card."
