The decision sparked debate, but Boyd believes the Rangers full-back was impeded and insists there should be little argument over the call.

Speaking to the BBC, Boyd said: "Surprisingly enough, I thought it was a penalty!

"I think you can understand why people are moaning about it, but personally, I feel that Penrice was obstructed; he had to move his body to get out of the way.

"Nick Walsh was standing right in front of it, and he thought it was a penalty."

Rangers capitalised on the decision, converting from the spot on their way to a 2-0 victory in Paisley.

"He is the best referee in the country," Boyd added.
