Danny Rohl finds it difficult to understand why Auston Trusty wasn't sent off for Celtic against Rangers at the weekend.

The American central defender's boot connected with the head of Jack Butland in first-half stoppage time. Referee Nick Walsh booked Trusty for the incident.

A few days later, Rangers released a statement, outlining that they remain unsatisfied with the decision not to send Trusty off despite holding talks with the Scottish FA.

"And then of course, it was the kick against the head for Jack. I think we always have two sides.

"The referee has their side and they are looking at the rules. But we have our sides, how we see something.

"For me, if there is a kick against the head you have to be really careful what you are doing there.

"So for me, this is maybe a little bit too difficult to understand. It doesn't matter if it's from the side or the front.

"A kick against the head is always dangerous because you could get an injury from your opponent.

"So this is a little bit difficult. The handball, OK, I think there are so many rules with the handball.

"It's this angle or it's this angle. But the tackle was difficult to understand."
