No appeal for Rangers

Rangers have decided not to appeal against Nacho Novo’s three-match ban for violent conduct during a stormy Old Firm derby last month.

Novo will now miss Sunday’s trip to Kilmarnock, the trip to Dundee Utd on January 1 and the home game with Dunfermline on January 15.

However, he is free to play at home to Motherwell on December 27, then the Tennent’s Scottish Cup tie at Celtic Park on January 9.
