The Fir Park boss spoke out after losing defender Stephen O'Donnell to injury last week
Stuart Kettlewell has held talks with refs chief Willie Collum over ripping rugby’s dangerous tip-tackle out of football.
He explained: “Without being too dramatic, if Stephen falls another couple of inches in the way and lands on his head, what’s his neck supported by other than his full body weight coming down on top of him? If two players contest a header, both jump at the same time and come together, you are generally going to have just a bit of contact and both players fall to the ground or land on their feet, so I don’t see the severity with that.
