RANGERS defender Fabio Cardoso has confirmed he has suffered a broken nose in their 2-0 loss to Motherwell at Hampden.
The stopper seemed to be elbowed TWICE by Well striker Ryan Bowman.
It was a physical encounter between the two sides as the Steelmen came out on top thanks to a double from hitman Louis Moult.
Cardoso gave a message to the Gers faithful on his Twitter post.
He said: "We were not able to meet our goal of reaching the final, time to see what we did wrong and work even harder to reach the other objectives.
"Thank u for all the support messages, I am fine just a broken nose. We will be back more stronger on Wednesday."
Ibrox boss Pedro Caixinha was enraged that ref Steven McLean did not see the incident and was sent to the stands with 20 minutes left to play.
He said: “The question was not with the referee, the question was when I saw Fabio’s nose. From the touchline I couldn’t see what happened.
CHILD'S PLAY Can you guess the famous footballers from these childhood snaps?
“Now I have seen it was an elbow but after when I saw his face and nose I just asked the fourth official “What needs to happen on the pitch for an opponent to receive a red card?"
