ROVERS new-boy Stig Inge Bjornebye was sent off a minute before the end of Norway's 3-1 defeat in Finalnd last night.

The 30-year-old defender saw red after receiving a second yellow for handball.

Damien Johnson and Keith Gillespie were also in international friendly action for Northern Ireland against Yugoslavia in Belfast.

Johnson played a full 90 minutes while Gillespie replaced Manchester City's Kevin Horlock with 18 minutes left as the North eventually lost 2-1.
