Bhoys bag the points as Killie fume at penalty

KILMARNOCK goalkeeper Alan Combe was unhappy with referee Mike McCurry’s decision to give Celtic a penalty in the closing stages of yesterday’s 3-1 Premier League match at Rugby Park.

This was the first-high profile game for McCurry since he was accused of bias by Dundee United manager Craig Levein after the Tannadice side had lost against Rangers at Ibrox last May.

There was no doubt about the first penalty awarded to Celtic when Shaun Maloney was brought down by Garry Hay and although the former Aston Villa player missed the target with his spot-kick, he struck soon after to give the visitors a half-time lead.
