John Lundstram wants Rangers to make up for two lost points when they face Hibs on Wednesday - even if he thinks those weren't entirely the players' fault.
The Easter Road side held the Light Blues to a 2-2 draw back in August in a controversial game where Lundstram was sent off by Willie Collum for a challenge on Martin Boyle. That was later downgraded to a yellow but he wasn't the only one sent packing that day as Alfredo Morelos received his marching orders.
Rangers were 2-1 up in the game before Josh Campbell's late leveller and ahead of taking on Hibs at Ibrox in the first competitive game under new boss Michael Beale, Lundstram insists they want to avenge lost points. He told Sky: "We know it is going to be a tough game. We know they are a top half of the table team. They'll come to Ibrox and be really tough.
"My red card - which was obviously the wrong decision - massivley impacted that game and impacted the result. We can't get them two points back.
"You can say that is a fault of us but it was also a fault of the referee which at the time was frustarting for myself as I knew it wasn't a red card.
"But I am looking forward to the game and it is a massive one for us. It's back at Ibrox in front of our fans so it's one we are all looking forward to."
