Derek McInnes has branded the decision to award Rangers a corner before their equaliser at Rugby Park as "madness".
The Kilmarnock boss was stunned after a corner was awarded following a shot wide of the target from Ianis Hagi.
Replays of the incident didn't show any evidence of a touch on the way through a number of bodies in the penalty area.

However, a corner was awarded but only after referee Don Robertson had initially signalled for a goal kick. According to McInnes, the linesman stated a corner should be given.
From the corner, Cyriel Dessers headed home to make it 2-2 before Rangers went on to score twice more and claim a 4-2 win in Barry Ferguson's first match in the dugout as interim boss.
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."
