Kris Boyd unconvinced by Rangers penalty as he trades places with Celtic hero Stiliyan Petrov

Former Rangers striker Kris Boyd doesn't believe Carl Starfelt's tackle on Fashion Sakala was a nailed-on penalty in Monday's pulsating 2-2 draw with Celtic.

Referee John Beaton pointed to the spot after the Swede's moment of madness with few complaints from those in green and white. But Boyd wasn't backed up by former Celtic standout Stiliyan Petrov who believes the man in the middle got it spot on. Petrov said: "This is the one that really blows me away. Definitely a penalty. Definitely a penalty."

But an unconvinced Boyd, followed on Sky Sports: "I'm still not sure whether it's a penalty or not. I think Sakala stands on Starfelt. I know he goes to ground and the rules are rules, but forget it, it's given. You've got to say, what a penalty kick it is. You stick it in the top corner." James Tavernier made no mistake from the spot to fire Rangers ahead before Kyogo grabbed a point for the champions in the final minutes.
