    Think three game is standard in the CL.

    Yellow card at worst. Another over reaction by a ref conned by a player.

    Just hope it doesn't stunt his progress within celtic. It was unnecessary but Should celtic try and appeal the decision??

    1 game is standard. Can up increase to 3 (Brown) if it judged to have been excesive.

    So Bitons back for Milan in theory, unless its deemed excessive? The challenge was worse than Broonys but think it was an actual challenge and not an attempt to hurt the guy.

    Thought it was a stupid and dangerous challenge but being honest I would rather we lost someone like him at this stage than one of the first team regulars.

    Shocked when I saw the red coming out. Yellow card at most for me.

    Definitely a red. Was pretty dangerous actually.

    Think he's got a bit to go before he's ready for this level but we didn't have much option tonight with injuries and suspensions. He'll learn from this.

    Not a * chance was that a red.

    I guarantee Lennon changes his tune when he sees the replay, Serrero made Tom Daley look average.

    Just seen it again on the cooncil telly and it was a bit reckless.

    Coming in at speed, foot raised and studs showing.

    However in keeping with the refs performance it was a foul at best. Normally would be a yellow though as he never touched him.

    As soon as he made the tackle I knew he was off.

    It would have been a foul and possibly a yellow card in a domestic game. In Europe there is always a chance of walking for a challenge like that.

    His leg kinda of flexes instead of sliding properly - can see why - from a linesman view how he got a red. (similar to Nani last year - no real intent or contact)
