00:00I think maybe the finishing could have been a bit better on occasions from Hartz,

00:04and probably one or two of the players would tell you that themselves.

00:08They were also denied a, well I think it was a pretty clear penalty in the 61st minute,

00:12when James Wilson is bundled over by Ince Jala.

00:15John Beaton I don't think was in a particularly great position, the referee, to see it,

00:18and has allowed play to continue, which is fair enough.

00:22But Rangers run up the park and score through Vlaslav Cerny,

00:25and at that point, for me, VAR has got to intervene, I just can't understand for the life of me.

00:29They've obviously looked at it, they look at everything, everything gets checked.

00:32We can't say that they haven't checked it, they have checked it,

00:34and they've clearly decided that it wasn't a foul on Wilson.

00:37And a two-handed push in the back, inside the penalty area, to knock the guy to the ground.

00:41How's that not a penalty kick?

00:43You don't like to say it when you're talking about professional sport,

00:46but sometimes when it's just not your day, it's not your day.

00:49You're just not getting the luck, you're not getting the rub of green.

00:52Jamie McCartt obviously gets the worst of that with the 2-1 goals,

00:56but I think on another day, Kabangu gets one, if not more goals,

01:00and you probably get a more favourable decision from the referee.

01:05Yeah, a few things kind of conspired against them,

01:07and I don't think that's just excuses, it was simply the way the game panned out.
