The clash between Rangers and Hibs wasn't short of high drama at a rain-soaked Ibrox on Boxing Day.
Make no mistake, Joe Newell was fouled inside the Rangers 18-yard-box on Saturday afternoon.
But Willie Collum was right not to point to the spot and award a penalty for the challenge from Ianis Hagi after a corner during the clash at Ibrox.
The Romanian immediately looked at the official to make sure he wasn't blowing his whistle, but while he was right not to give the penalty, he should have blown up.
Glasgow Live Sport took a look at the IFAB rule book and Collum should have awarded an indirect free kick to Hibs, which would have still been a huge opportunity from inside the box to test Allan McGregor.
Hagi attempted to clear the ball with an overhead kick but missed the ball - and also never hit Newell.
But it could be classed as dangerous and the IFAB rules state: "An indirect free kick is awarded if a player plays in a dangerous manner."
It then explains "Playing in a dangerous manner is any action that, while trying to play the ball, threatens injury to someone (including the player themself) and includes preventing a nearby opponent from playing the ball for fear of injury.
"A scissors or bicycle kick is permissible provided that it is not dangerous to an opponent."
Given Newell couldn't make contact with the ball because Hagi had swung his foot to clear it, it was a foul and there probably wouldn't have been arguments if a penalty was given.
It would take a brave referee to award an indirect free kick without losing control of the overall game, but by the letter of the law it wasn't a penalty for Hibs.
