Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher reckons Dundee United were rightly denied two penalties at Ibrox on Saturday.
The Tannadice side felt aggrieved at non-awards by a pair of incidents involving Tony Watt and Jamie McGrath as they went chasing an equaliser in Glasgow. Referee Kevin Clancy waved away United's appeals after Watt went down under pressure from Borna Barisic and then McGrath hit the deck following a tackle from Malik Tillman.
Rangers ran out 2-1 winners in the end via an Antonio Colak double, with Liam Smith pulling one back for United in the final half hour. There was debate over the weekend around the two United claims that followed but Gallagher, speaking on his weekly Sky Sports ref watch segment, insists Clancy was right not to penalise Rangers. Gallagher: "I think not. Tony Watt goes down, it's clumsy but I don't think he (Barisic) clips him. They come together and he goes down but at that point they're side by side.
