Graham Alexander in barbed Celtic and Rangers penalty claim as he fumes 'we don't get them'

Motherwell boss Graham Alexander blasted referees for multiple 'blatant' penalties that he says his side have been denied against both teams in Glasgow.

Alexander was left fuming after he believed the referee denied his team a penalty during their 2-0 loss to Celtic, after a handball from full-back Boli Bolingoli.

The Fir Park boss is adamant that Motherwell were robbed of a penalty against Rangers last month and insists that it is easy for officials to give penalties against his side, but very difficult to award them.

He said: "All I can say is we don't get them.

"We should have one a few weeks ago at Ibrox, we should have one here - blatant.

"I'm learning quickly that it's easy to give a penalty against us but very, very difficult to give a penalty to us. From my relatively new experience here that's what I've seen with my own eyes.

"I definitely think VAR would have helped us. It would have given us a 1-0 win away to Rangers, and would have given us a penalty here today."
