Ally McCoist says that the referee's decision to send off Lee Wallace during Rangers' win over Annan Athletic was "soft".

Rangers manager Ally McCoist has revealed his frustration at Lee Wallace's red card during their win over Annan Athletic on Tuesday night.

The defender was given his marching orders after appearing to handle the ball in the penalty area during the Gers' 3-0 victory at Ibrox.

While Neil Alexander saved the spot kick, McCoist is still annoyed with the decision.

"My initial reaction was that it was soft," said McCoist. "I'll definitely watch it again and reassess and, if I'm wrong, I'll stand corrected, but I didn't think it was a foul, let alone a goalscoring opportunity.

"Going down to 10 men wasn't ideal but I still felt we would create chances and we did that.

"I'm delighted that we've got seven wins in a row and we can all definitely see a little more consistency in the performances - but there are still a lot of things we can do better."

Rangers are now six points clear at the top of the Scottish Third Division table.
