On 16 May 2009, during the penultimate league match of the [[Aberdeen F.C. season 2008-09|2008–09 season]] at [[Ibrox Stadium]] against [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]], Mulgrew and Rangers' [[Kyle Lafferty]] were at the centre of controversy. As Mulgrew made a clearance from his own half, Lafferty made a sliding tackle on him. Both players squared up to each other and Lafferty fell to the ground clutching his face as though he had been [[headbutt]]ed. Referee [[Stuart Dougal]] sent Mulgrew off for violent conduct, but television pictures clearly showed that Mulgrew had not made clear contact with Lafferty.<ref>[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/rangers/5339918/Kyle-Lafferty-conned-me-into-red-card-referee-Stuart-Dougal-tells-SFA.html Kyle Lafferty conned me into red card, referee Stuart Dougal tells SFA] ''The Daily Telegraph'', 18 May 2009</ref> Lafferty was seen to wink to a teammate after Mulgrew had left the field.<ref>[http://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/article.aspx/1220104?UserKey= Red card madness rules at Ibrox on afternoon of chaos and drama] ''Press & Journal'', 18 May 2009</ref> Mulgrew later had his red card rescinded and Lafferty was given a two-month suspension.<ref>[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/rangers/6351194/Rangers-striker-Kyle-Lafferty-resigned-to-a-lifetime-of-boos-for-his-Mulgrew-moment.html Rangers striker Kyle Lafferty resigned to a lifetime of boos for his Mulgrew moment] ''The Daily Telegraph'', 16 October 2009</ref>
