Venus quick to defend McGeady

The winger was dismissed following what the referee saw as a blatant act of deception. It came only days after the Eduardo diving controversy.

“I haven’t watched it again. The bottom line is it’s done and I’m not going to change it,” Venus told the Daily Record.

“Football is about interpretation. One referee would say that it was a foul and one would say it was a dive.

“But some of the words used about Aiden are wrong. He’s not that type of guy.”
