The Ibrox side were awarded of a spot kick after the left-back tumbled under the challenge of Samuel Ramos in Paisley on Saturday evening, Ryan Naderi then scoring to help Rangers on their way to three points.

It has proved hugely controversial with many feeling the contact was minimal and not enough to send Penrice flying.

Former referee Steven Conroy believes referee Walsh and VAR Greg Aitken were conned on the night, adding it must be something the full-back has worked on.

He told The Ref's View podcast: “If that level of contact - everything is a sliding scale. You go from absolutely [a penalty] to minimal contact.

"I have a doubt that it is even a fraction of minimal contact. His toenail must have hit the side of his foot. If that level of force is enough to put a fit, healthy professional athlete down then he needs checked out.

"That was an appalling overreaction. If something is hurt, the last thing you want to do is move it. The minute someone rolls around like that you know they are at it. I am not going to use the cheat word because there was that featherlight touch on his foot. But if that is a level of contact that is acceptable now, you can’t tackle in the box.

“See that reaction from Penrice, that reaction to the featherlight touch, that reaction has to be practiced. That is not a normal reaction to that level of touch, that is practiced.”
