Sky Sports ref watch react to big call that went Rangers' way vs Kilmarnock

Dermot Gallagher has had his say on a big call that went Rangers' way against Kilmarnock last night.

Speaking this morning on the 'Ref watch' segment on Sky Sports News, Gallagher said that the Ibrox club should've been awarded the corner that led to Cyriel Dessers' equaliser.

Things looked grim for Rangers after going 2-0 down within the opening 14 minutes, although Vaclav Cerny got them back into the game before halftime.

Dessers then drew them level with a close-range finish.

Gallagher countered claims from Kilmarnock boss Derek McInnes that Rangers shouldn't have been given the corner that eventually led to the leveller: "What I will say is I do think this is a corner," he said.

"I do think it strikes the defender and goes out for a corner.

"The referee is quite right. He gives a goal-kick, but he's had some input, and then he gives a corner. It becomes a talking point because they score from it."

Soon after making it 2-2, Dessers bagged his second of the evening to put his team ahead for the first time.

Nedim Bajrami then wrapped up the three points late on as Barry Ferguson secured a win in his first game in interim charge of Rangers.

He will look to make it two victories in two when Motherwell visit Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership this Saturday at 3pm.
