Confident Michael Stewart has doubled down on claims that Rangers should NOT have been awarded a penalty during their Scottish Cup clash with Hibs.

The former Easter Road midfielder left Ibrox fans baffled when he dispute the decision to punish defender Jordan Obita for a trip on Dujon Sterling as the defender tracked the versatile Ibrox star into the box during the 2-0 win for Philippe Clement's side.

Referee Steven McLean pointed to the penalty spot - with VAR backing up the man in the middle following a quick-check. T That allowed James Tavernier to step up to the spot - and while his initial effort was saved by David Marshall, John Lundstram would latch on the rebound to open the scoring during the Scottish Cup clash.

On commentary, Stewart declared that the penalty should not have been awarded - despite the likes of former Celtic and Hibs boss Neil Lennon backing up the man in the middle.
