Madden was left 'amazed' by VAR Alan Muir's decision not to recommend a penalty and reckons Rangers were denied a clear spot kick.

"This is clear evidence of holding within the penalty area and I’m amazed this hasn’t been identified by VAR.
"Referee team had been excellent until that point. Difficult live, but that’s why VAR is there."
