Rangers lost ground to their Old Firm rivals, who are sitting at the top of the table, after they dropped points at Aberdeen on Wednesday night.
Derek McInnes had a pop at Rangers and stated that ‘a lot of decisions’ were going in the favour of Steven Gerrard’s side last night as Aberdeen recorded a 2-2 draw against their rivals.
The Aberdeen boss refused to comment on whether Alfredo Morelos should have been awarded a penalty during the game, as he instead decided to vent his frustrations towards Rangers seemingly getting the benefit of the referee’s decisions.
Rangers, who have a League Cup final to look forward to this Sunday, thought they were going to seal all three points when they went 2-0 ahead, but their opponents fought back.
After the game, McInnes was asked whether Morelos should have been awarded a penalty, as he decided to turn the tables and have a pop at Rangers instead.
“No comment [on Ferguson’s potential foul on Morelos in the penalty box],” McIness told BBC Sport. “But listen, I think Rangers got the benefit of a lot of decisions today.
“I think I’ve been a guilty party sometimes with my team this year when we’ve had penalties we should’ve but didn’t get. A draw was maybe a fair result on the balance of play. But with should still go on and win the game with Sam [Cosgrove’s] chance.
“It was the best chance of the second half – there were a lot of things out there that I wasn’t too happy about, either.”
For a moment, it seemed as though both Old Firm duo were going to drop points in the Premiership ahead of their Sunday meeting.
Whilst Rangers failed to score a winner against Aberdeen, Neil Lennon’s side ended up conceding a late equaliser against Hamilton, only for Scott Brown to step-up in stoppage-time to seal a dramatic win for his side.
It now means that Celtic hold a two-point lead over Gerrard’s men, who will be hoping to put things right on Sunday.
