Steven Gerrard: Rangers boss accepts one-game ban for referee tirade after Alfredo Morelos penalty controversy

Steven Gerrard has accepted a one-match ban as punishment for his foul-mouthed outburst after referee John Beaton booked Alfredo Morelos during Rangers’ win at Livingston on Wednesday. The Ibrox boss had been charged with “misconduct” after marching on to the pitch to confront the official at half-time during the 1-0 victroy – but accepting the ban means he will be free to lead Rangers out at Celtic Park later this month. The 1-0 victory means Rangers will be crowned champions this weekend if they beat St Mirren on Saturday and Celtic slip up away to Dundee United the following day.
