The pundit faced criticism from the Ibrox support after he leapt to the defence of Jordan Obita.

Confident Michael Stewart has doubled down on claims that Rangers should NOT have been awarded a penalty during their Scottish Cup clash with Hibs.

That allowed James Tavernier to step up to the spot - and while his initial effort was saved by David Marshall, John Lundstram would latch on the rebound to open the scoring during the Scottish Cup clash. On commentary, Stewart declared that the penalty should not have been awarded - despite the likes of former Celtic and Hibs boss Neil Lennon backing up the man in the middle.

"I just don't think when looking at that incident - and by the way, poor play, he is caught and Sterling has got inside - but that is not a foul, just for being in the wrong position. There wasn't a clipping of the heels. There wasn't a push, there wasn't a pull, there was contact and for me there wasn't enough contact to constitute a penalty kick."
