Derek McInnes insists he still isn’t happy after demanding answers from the SFA referees department over the failure of Willie Collum to check the monitor for Kilmarnock’s penalty appeal in their Viaplay Cup semi-final defeat against holders Celtic on Saturday.
The Rugby Park boss was raging after the game and is still unhappy at the incident where Giorgos Giakoumakis, who went on to score the clincher at Hampden, wrestled Joe Wright to the ground inside the box.
McInnes said the whole episode flies in the face of the reasons the technology was introduced to Scottish football – at a cost of £1.2million per season – as he admitted sympathy for the Killie fans who travelled to Glasgow on a rain-lashed night only to be denied VAR being utilised.
