Hull City manager Steve Bruce has revealed that he will contest the red card shown to his son following the Tigers' 2-0 win over Huddersfield Town.
Alex Bruce was sent off by referee Howard Webb after the final whistle at the KC Stadium for a shove on Alan Lee.
Bruce senior was disgusted with the role that Lee played in the incident and has branded the Irish forward a cheat.
He said: "We are appealing his red, you can understand why. I knew there must have been something in it for him to react like that.
"I thought it was cowardly by Alan Lee, I thought more of him, I have had a pint of Guinness with him, I have played his guitar and I thought more of him.
"Cheat is the right word for him, I don't use that lightly but that's the right word for him. He's 15-and-a-half stone and he went down like that."
Alex Bruce has now been sent off six times during his career.
