If you use a red light can you see the rats thru a scope still?

Yes your can, but how well you see depends on how many Lumen your light is. Just like a regular light the more lumen( say 300 lumen vs 800 lumen ) your light has the better you can see.
Here is the science behind the light colors..

Green may work but I know rats are totally red color blind..
Here an example how it works...

Ok yes I seen something like that but the guy had a small camera and screen mounted to his air rifle so I thought I would need that type of setup to shoot at night. I didn’t think I would be able to see crosshairs still with only a ir light

You don't use an IR emitter unless you are using Night vision gear. If you have a good quality red or green light you will be able to see you cross hairs.
The film crew is using Night Vision cameras and an IR Emitter, but the guy is only using a red light. The only thing he sees is what the red light shows.
Sitting in my blind other night wow a lot of coyotes not to far off
Anyways tonight thinking about lazyboy bag of chips
