Dermot Gallagher quashes Rangers penalty controversy as he delivers clear verdict on St Mirren flashpoint

Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher supported the decision to award Rangers a penalty during their victory over St Mirren. The spot kick was given after Samuel Ramos fouled James Penrice in the penalty box, with Ryan Naderi converting from 12 yards before Dan Neil added a deflected second goal to secure the away win for Derek McInnes' side.

The decision had sparked criticism from pundit Chris Sutton and former referees Des Roache and Steve Conroy, while St Mirren manager Craig McLeish also voiced displeasure. However, Gallagher stated on Sky Sports that referee Nick Walsh had the perfect view and Ramos clearly did not win the ball.
