Derek McInnes was left fuming after Kilmarnock were denied a penalty in their Viaplay Cup semi final defeat to holders Celtic at Hampden. Giorgos Giakoumakis bundled Joe Wright over inside the box in the dying minutes but Willie Collum failed to point to the spot.
And Giakoumakis rubbed salt into the Ayrshire side’s wounds when he scored the clincher at the other end after Daizen Maeda’s opener for Ange Postecoglou’s men. But McInnes was raging at the officials, insisting Collum or VAR Greg Aitken should have awarded them a penalty.
He spoke to Viaplay after the game and raged: “We should have had a penalty, absolutely we should have. It’s two hands - Giakoumakis has got his arms wrapped around Joe Wright and he goes down. He can’t get to the ball. The way the throw has come in, he can’t get to it. He’s come through the back of him. It’s a penalty every day.
