Pat Fenlon and Kenny Shiels disagree over first-half penalty call

Pat Fenlon and Kenny Shiels had to agree to disagree over Hibernian’s winning goal from the penalty spot.

Referee Steven McLean blew for a foul after he adjudged Ryan O’Leary had fouled Paul Cairney in the box on the stroke of half-time.

Leigh Griffiths stepped up to convert what proved to be the winning goal as the home side triumphed 2- 1.

Having watched the incident again, Hibs boss Fenlon said: "I've just watched it on the DVD and it's a penalty.

"I thought at the time it was a little bit harsh, but after watching it it's a penalty.

"If it was against us I would've been disappointed, but after watching it again, the referee's in a good position and it's definitely a penalty."

However Killie manager Shiels was adamant the official got the decision wrong.

"He (Cairney) ran straight into my player looking for a penalty," he said.

"There was no contact. I don't have to see replays. We know it wasn't a penalty."
