Look at the game at Ibrox against Aberdeen. Aberdeen boy cracks Wallace with a deliberate elbow. Not one mention of it again. Trial by media as per, and we all know what team they are most interested in...

I'm sure there was an incident when one of the players scraped his studs deliberately down one of our players face in the same game, Ignored by the impartial presenters.

The Light Blues centre back successfully challenged a violent conduct charge at Hampden.

The centre back chose to challenge the compliance officer's violent conduct charge at a Hampden hearing after being accused of striking his opponent during the 1-1 draw on December 28.

Anderson accused Kiernan of aiming "a clear punch" to his ribs but a Scottish FA judicial panel dismissed the claim, delivering a not proven verdict.

Kiernan will be available for selection for Rangers' Scottish Cup tie against Motherwell on January 21.

Ibrox boss Mark Warburton had expressed his bemusement over the incident before suggesting there was a "conflict of interest" in BT Sport pundit Stephen Craigan, who is part of Motherwell's coaching team, highlighting it on TV.
