BBC pundit Michael Stewart insisted Hibs should have had a penalty in their 1-0 defeat to Rangers at Ibrox on Boxing Day.

Hibs were pressing for a second half equaliser when goalscorer Ianis Hagi went into a challenge on Joe Newell inside the Rangers box with his boot raised high.

Stewart, who played for Hibs between 2005 and 2007 before going on to spend three years at city rivals Hearts, felt referee Willie Collum should have pointed to the spot.
