The SPFL have upheld Lee Wallace and Kenny Miller's appeal against the disciplinary sanctions imposed on them by Rangers last season.

The duo were suspended and then fined by the club following an alleged dressing room fracas with former boss Graeme Murty after they suffered a 4-0 Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Celtic.

A Rangers statement said: "The club is surprised by the decision of the SPFL’s Tribunal on this matter and disappointed that the decision seems to have been leaked before the club were advised of it by the SPFL.

Decisions on such matters deal largely with procedural issues, not the conduct which gave rise to the club’s sanctions.

"The club was only presented with a 40 plus page decision after 4pm this afternoon and will now take some time to consider matters before deciding how to proceed".

Left-back Wallace was given a fine of four-week's wages by the club, but has made one appearance under Steven Gerrard this season.

However the Scotland international is no longer the club captain, and wasn't included in their Europa League squad this week.

Veteran striker Miller was given a fine of two week's wages before leaving the club at the end of his contract.

He had a brief stint as player-manager of Livingston before signing for Dundee.
