Rangers are to contact the SFA to seek an explanation why Auston Trusty wasn\u2019t red-carded for his foul on Jack Butland in the League Cup semi-final.<\/p>\n

Celtic booked their place in next month\u2019s final with a 3-1 victory after extra time at Hampden on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Danny Rohl\u2019s men were reduced to ten men when Thelo Aasgaard was sent off for a foul on Anthony Ralston not long after the Hoops had taken the lead through Johnny Kenny.<\/p>\n

Then just before half-time Trusty\u2019s trailing leg connected with Butland\u2019s head when the goalkeeper had the ball in both hands.<\/p>\n

The USA international defender, who would go on to be named man of the match, was shown a yellow card over the incident, but Rangers believe he should have been sent off and will now request an explanation from the governing body.<\/p>\n

Despite playing most of the game with ten-men, Rangers equalised late on when James Tavernier struck from the penalty spot.<\/p>\n

However, Celtic made the extra man advantage count in extra time with goals from Callum McGregor and Callum Osmand to secure a 3-1 win.<\/p>\n

They will now play St Mirren for the trophy on December 14.<\/p>\n
