Derek McInnes' gripes over Rangers' second goal in their 4-2 at Rugby Park last night have been supported by two BBC pundits.
The Kilmarnock gaffer was left unhappy after Ianis Hagi's shot at goal - which took no nick off a Killie player - was subsequently awarded as a corner.
Referee Don Robertson initially gave a goal kick, as Killie looked to reset. However, using his linesman on the far side, Robertson overturned his original call to signal for a corner.
At the resultant corner, James Tavernier floated the ball into the box for Cyriel Dessers to head home from six yards out in acres of space.
This was the moment that Barry Ferguson's side really capitalised on a complete collapse from the hosts, who were 2-0 up in the game thanks to early goals by Joe Wright and Brad Lyons.
Stephen Thompson mentioned the flashpoint on BBC Sportscene, saying: “Dessers bagged a double. The first of which, had a bit of controversy about it.”
Richard Foster added: ‘Hagi has the shot, and the referee points for a goal kick.
"And then all of a sudden he changes his mind, so he has obviously been helped by out by his linesman there who thinks that is a corner.
"I don’t see the touch, but you still need to defend the corner properly.”

On Sky Sports, McInnes said: "I know the second goal comes from a set play but it's not a corner.
"Don Robertson is 10 yards from it and he actually gives the goal kick and I think his linesman has overruled him from 30 yards away which is madness and given them a corner.
"We have still got to defend the corner but it's not a corner in the first place, which is poor.
"I think that was an all-important goal in terms of giving them plenty of encouragement in the second half.
"From then on in it was difficult, Rangers' tails were up."
