Lee Wallace and Kenny Miller suspended by Rangers after dressing-room row with Graeme Murty

Rangers pair Lee Wallace and Kenny Miller have been suspended pending an investigation into a "team-related incident'' that followed the fall-out of their 4-0 defeat by Celtic, the club have announced.

Neither played in the William Hill Scottish Cup semi-final but it is believed they were involved in a heated post-match confrontation with Graeme Murty over his approach and Rangers' performance.

A statement on the club's official Twitter account read: "Rangers can confirm two players, Lee Wallace and Kenny Miller, have this morning been suspended pending investigation into a team related incident.

"The club will make no further comment until this investigation has been completed."

Murty stated after the game that the dressing room was "emotional" after Sunday's game.

"There was anger, frustration, all the sorts of emotion you would expect from a changing room that has just gone through that," he added.

"There should be frustration and anger, it is just about turning that into positives and energy to power you through to the end of the season, rather than allow it to be disruptive."

Miller, 38, is in the final weeks of his contract and was an unused substitute on Sunday while club captain Wallace was not in the squad. He has not played since September but has been closing in on a comeback following groin surgery.

Miller's Rangers career looks to be over but Wallace has a year left on his contract.

There were more signs of internal strife at Hampden with both Andy Halliday and Daniel Candeias reacting angrily after being substituted, before Alfredo Morelos and Greg Docherty were seen shouting at each other as they left the pitch.

Murty only has a deal as Rangers boss until the summer and was given little reassurance he would be kept on in a statement to fans by chairman Dave King last week.
