Derek McInnes demands SFA up their VAR game as Kilmarnock boss admits he's sick of apologies from Hampden

Derek McInnes has demanded the SFA refereeing department up its game as he continues to fume over the penalty Kilmarnock didn't get.

The Ayrshire side drew 1-1 at home to St Johnstone at the weekend. But they should have been awarded a spot kick when Andy Considine clearly handled in the Saints’ box, with replays showing his arm was well above his head in a blatant case of handling in the area.

But not only did official Mike Graham or any of his assistants fail to award a penalty, a VAR check inexplicably came to the same conclusion to leave McInnes dumbfounded and furious. He revealed that Killie have written to the Hampden beaks for an explanation, but wants improvements rather than apologies as he cited the cost of VAR that clubs are paying per game, only to be let down when they need it, sometimes for even basic calls.
