Bilel Mohsni has called for referees to give Rangers more protection following some bruising encounters in League One.
The French-Tunisian defender believes matches against Dunfermline and Airdrie this season have been overly-physical.
The November meeting with the Pars left Mohsni with a broken nose, while skipper Lee McCulloch needed stitches in a head wound, Richard Foster was sidelined for weeks with an ankle problem and Andy Little suffered a broken cheekbone.
Mohsni was then shown a second yellow card after last week’s clash at Airdrie after the player vented his frustration at some challenges during the match.
He told Rangers’ website: “Dunfermline and Airdrie were both games where players hit us and gave a lot of injuries to our side.”
He continued: “After the Airdrie game, I was happy we had won, but I was a little bit upset as we had taken a lot of kicks and had been given a lot of free-kicks because there were lots of fouls.
“Their right-back swore at me so I swore at him back which I know was stupid but I did it. Their manager walked straight to me and was swearing at me so I swore back at him too.
“I remember Nicky Clark and Ian Black had taken two bad tackles in that game and I was shocked.
“I can understand why they would react to that because we are humans. Sometimes you are weak and you react.
“I am not being arrogant when I say teams can’t beat us because we are beating them. We have proved this to everyone already.”
