DEREK MCINNES was proud of his players’ efforts as Kilmarnock fell to a valiant defeat to Celtic at Hampden, but the Killie manager was angry that his side were denied a penalty late on by referee Willie Collum, and says he doesn't understand why VAR didn't intervene.

The Killie bench, players and supporters were all up in arms as Giorgos Giakoumakis clambered with Joe Wright in the area late on with the score at 1-0, just before the Greek striker hit Celtic’s killer second goal.

And a furious McInnes was perplexed that the VAR official didn't correct referee Collum's on-field decision not to award a spot-kick for the incident.
