Watch Rangers boss Steven Gerrard sent off over foul-mouthed ref rant before Alfredo Morelos’ late winner
RANGERS boss Steven Gerrard was sent to the stands after telling ref John Beaton he was ‘F****** bang wrong’ to book Alfredo Morelos for diving.
The Liverpool legend was caught on TV confronting Beaton on the pitch at half-time at Livingston, efore Morelos hit a late winner to put Gerro‘s men four points off the Scottish Premiership title.
Colombia striker Morelos was controversially cautioned for allegedly trying to win a penalty after a challenge from Max Stryjek.
Sky Sports cameras then followed Gerrard as he made his way towards Beaton following the whistle for the break.
Gerro was soon heard saying: “You’re not speaking to me?”
Beaton replied: “I can’t”. And Gerrard responded: “I know why you’re not speaking to me, it’s because you got it f***ing bang wrong.
“You’re bang out of order.”
Ex-England midfielder Gerrard was shown a yellow card before promptly being given a red.
As expected, Rangers pressed for a winner after the interval.
And just when it seemed fifth-placed Livingston might hold on, Morelos was on hand to tap the only goal after 87 minutes.
