Derek McInnes rages at 'bizarre' Rangers penalty snub as Kilmarnock boss miffed by Willie Collum decision

Derek McInnes lamented a penalty not give to his Kilmarnock side in a 3-1 defeat to Rangers at Ibrox.

It was a footnote in the eventual outcome as Michael Beale's side responded to League Cup heartbreak against Celtic by thrashing their Ayrshire visitors. Connor Goldson kicked scoring off and Fashion Sakala soon followed, before Ryan Alebiosu was deemed to have blocked the ball with his arm when facing up Ryan Kent.

Willie Collum took a while to decide but eventually consulted VAR and awarded a penalty, which captain James Tavernier dispatched. Jeriel Dorsett pulled one back in a positive start to the second half but it wasn't enough. McInnes knows his team's performance that leaves them in the Premiership's relegation play-off spot was not enough for points, but Allan McGregor's foul on Rory McKenzie should have given them a shot from 12 yards: "We should get a penalty when Rory gets bundled down by Allan McGregor, which is bizarre how we don't get a penalty. Second half we were far better but it's a 90-minute plus performance you need and the first half it wasn't there.

"I have only seen it from the one angle that my analyst has shown me, But at the time I thought it was a penalty, they give a corner but it's a foul before the corner.

"Rory is bundled over and I think Allan McGregor has come through the back of his legs. I think it is a really untidy challenge and for me it looked a penalty kick every day of the week.

"We never got it but I had no complaints about Rangers' penalty. It seemed to take an eternity to get to the decision but I do think it's come off Ryan's arm."
