Steven Gerrard: You don't deserve a yellow card for blowing a kiss
Candeias returns from suspension for Saturday’s visit of Livingston after sitting out one game following his red card at St Mirren.
Rangers failed to overturn the winger’s dismissal after claiming mistaken identity when he was shown a second yellow card by referee Willie Collum after footage showed he did nothing wrong during a clash with Anton Ferdinand.

When asked if that added to their frustration, Gerrard said: “Yes, slightly, because I don’t think you deserve to get a yellow card in football if you blow a kiss.
“But we accept it, we move on, no hard feelings, and we move forward.”
