- Kenny's spot-kick fury
Furious Dunfermline manager Stephen Kenny blasted John Underhill after the referee failed to spot three penalties as the rock-bottom Pars slumped to a 1-0 home defeat to Rangers at East End Park on Sunday.
Kenny insisted that Karl Svensson and Charlie Adam were guilty of handling the ball while substitute Jim McIntyre was pushed in the penalty area in the closing stages of the match.
He said: "The turning point was when the most blatant of penalties wasn't given. The television monitors confirmed it was a penalty.
"Stevie Crawford is knocking the ball into an empty net and it is handled. It's the most blatant penalty you'll see and it wasn't given.
"We've had one penalty in 28 games this season, in the League Cup, and that's a statistic in itself.
"We could have been given one when Charlie Adam handled and Scott Wilson was very adamant about that one as well.
"Jim McIntyre had a blatant push on him near the end when he had a free header but the main one was when the defender stopped Crawford's effort with a hand."
