Reason Rangers loan ace was sent off on debut after 'taking kung fu kick to head'

Callum Davidson has admitted he was baffled over the decision to send off Rangers loanee Adam Devine on his debut after taking a "kung fu kick" to the head. The Queen's Park manager was certain his side should have been awarded a spot-kick in the last minutes of the loss to Airdrie with Devine caught in the box. Davidson reckons the Rangers full-back was "nearly kung fu kicked" as he went to play the ball without lowering his head.

"I thought it was a stonewall penalty," said Davidson.

"The boy nearly kung fu kicked Adam in the head when Adam had not even lowered his head for the ball. "Then, he actually gives a goal kick for it as well so I am a wee bit baffled. Hence my frustration probably boiled over today.

"I think Adam just asked why it was a goal kick - that's all he asked him. He [referee] said he was aggressive but Adam is not the aggressive type of person so I am really disappointed with that decision.".
