Michael Stewart in Twitter rant over 'incredible' Rangers not conceding penalties run

Michael Stewart has taken to social media platform Twitter to express his fury over a refereeing decision in Rangers' win over Aberdeen.

The pundit branded John Beaton's decision to wave play on after Connor Goldson appeared to foul winger Duk "embarrassing".

BBC and BT Sport pundit went on to describe the Ibrox club's failure to concede a penalty this season as "incredible".

Rangers went on to win the game 1-0 after a volley by Todd Cantwell after an hour of the game.

And Stewart clearly felt the Dons had been hard done by.

He wrote: "Absolutely embarrassing from the officials."

Minutes later, apparently unable to conceal his anger at Beaton's display, he Tweeted again, adding: "Aberdeen’s incredible run of clean sheets and victories came to an end at Ibrox while Rangers incredible run of no penalties against continued, incredibly."

Aberdeen manager Barry Robson was also upset after the game.

He said: “We looked like we would open them up quickly at times, a bit too quick at times. On another day it could have been a lot different result. 

“You need to take them wherever you are, not just coming here. But it’s probably more important to take them here. You have those two unbelievable chances in the first half – they don’t come much better than one on one chances.

“And then obviously the first half is it a penalty or a free kick outside as well, I don’t know? It was one or the others. Where was VAR, anyone see it? Where was it? I don’t know. Was it in the building today, I am being serious!

“Well, where was VAR then? What is the point of all of us speaking? Because none of us know, do we. I don’t know.”
