GUTTED Rangers centre-half Darren McGregor has added his voice to the growing calls for the SFA to wipe disciplinary records clean before the play-off games.

McGregor picked up his sixth booking of the season in the 1-1 draw with Queen of the South in the second leg of the SPFL Premiership play-off quarter-final at Ibrox on Sunday.

The centre half will be banned for the second leg of the play-off final with Motherwell at Fir Park a week tomorrow if his side progress past Hibs this afternoon.

The 29-year-old reckons it is wrong for the governing body to carry a player's cautions into the end-of-season matches after the league campaign finishes.

And he has echoed his manager Stuart McCall's sentiments by calling on the SFA to adopt the system currently in place in England.

McGregor said: "It's disappointing. I didn't know the stance from whoever puts the rules in place. I'm not sure if they've taken into account that these play-offs are now here.

"That's me played almost 50 games and the Queen of the South game on Sunday was just my sixth booking.

"Personally I think it's a bit harsh that there's not a structure put in place whereby if they get to a certain month they could maybe review it.

"They could say: 'Well, he's on five bookings, it's maybe a bit harsh that he might have to play another six games in the play-offs'. I'm not sure if that's something in the future they could maybe look at.

"I know that goals don't count in these games in terms of the total tally. I can definitely understand how a straight red needs to be carried over because otherwise you could just go out and do what you wanted.

"But in terms of yellows being accrued over the season I do think it's a wee bit harsh, but that's the letter of the law so I need to understand that.

"But in England they wipe your slate clean in March I've heard. That's interesting. Maybe we should look at doing the same.

"You're more prone to getting yellow cards if you're a defender. As I say, I think five over the course of 50 games up until the Queen of the South game isn't a bad record. To be penalised for that seems to me a bit unfair."

McGregor, who was this week named Rangers Player of the Year, will be a huge loss to the Ibrox club in the second leg of the play-off final if they get through today.

And the former Cowdenbeath and St Mirren player admitted it will be torture for him to watch his team mates in action against the Steelmen if they overcome Hibs.

He said: "It will be very difficult because I've been part of most of the games I'd really like to be there.

"But I can't speculate at the minute because we've still got to play Hibs and for me the next game is the biggest game of the season so far.

"We need to put all our attention towards that and that is the only thing I will be thinking about."

McGregor admitted the Rangers players were feeling fatigued towards the end of their 2-0 win over Hibs at Ibrox on Wednesday night.

But the defender, who was a HIbs supporter when he was a boy, insisted they would be right up for the rematch with Alan Stubbs's team in the Capital today.

He said: "I think everyone is feeling tired. You generally do feel tired over the course of a season, but you lift yourself for these games.

"You get bouts of tiredness, but when you know what's at stake leading up to a big game like this, then tiredness goes with the nerves as soon as you cross that white line."
