Michael Stewart does not appear pleased with what happened surrounding the James Penrice incident over the weekend.

Rangers picked up the three points against St Mirren, but it was a game that was marred by a controversial decision, with the visitors being awarded a penalty.

Michael Stewart thinks the officials wrongly handed Rangers penalty vs St Mirren

However, Stewart believes that Nick Walsh made a howler by awarding the Gers a penalty, which was converted by Ryan Naderi. Having assessed the footage, he believes that the referee had the perfect angle to see the incident. The former Hibs man thinks that it was a mistake not just by the on-field officials, but also by the VAR.

Usually, he has criticised the VAR, but this time, he believes that everyone looking at the incident got it wrong. This is despite the fact that there was clear contact on Penrice, which led to him falling to the ground.

As Rangers News explained, the laws state that Walsh was right to give a penalty and there was no clear and obvious error for the VAR to intervene. They would have told the referee about what exactly happened and he seemed fine with it.

In the video below, Stewart says: “Other instances I’ve said: ‘VAR is a shocker’, but that is across the board. Nick Walsh is in the perfect position to see what’s going on. That is a horrendous decision from Nick Walsh, and it’s compounded by VAR.”
