Philippe Clement demands answers over Rangers penalty snub as he questions ‘weird situation
The Ibrox manager was perplexed when his team was not awarded a late penalty in the final moments.
After Rangers’ late penalty for a handball at Rugby Park was refused, but Kilmarnock had been awarded
one earlier in the game, Philippe Clement has sought an explanation.
The Ibrox manager has questioned why, in the last moments, his team was not given a spot kick after the
ball struck Lewis Mayo, the Killie defender’s arm. Reference After watching a review at Clydesdale

After the hosts were awarded a penalty early in the first half when John Lundstram used his
outstretched arm to stop Danny Armstrong’s cross, Clement was left perplexed by the ruling. After
