Rangers were awarded as many as four penalties during their Scottish Premiership game against St Mirren at Ibrox on Saturday afternoon.

Steven Gerrard’s side, though, managed to convert three of those, as the Gers got the better of their opponents 4-0.

St Mirren goalkeeping coach Jamie Langfield has given his take on the penalty decisions on Twitter.

Langfield believes that of all the four penalty decisions that went in favour of Gerrard, only one should have stood.

The 39-year-old former Aberdeen and St Mirren goalkeeper has also suggested that Rangers striker Jermain Defoe did not dive for the controversial second penalty kick, and has given his take on what happened.

Despite the penalties awarded to Rangers, there can be no doubt that the Ibrox club were the better team and deservedly picked up all three points from the encounter.

The win at the weekend means that Rangers remain in the hunt for the Scottish Premiership title this season and continue to pile on the pressure on bitter Old Firm rivals Celtic.
