'Substandard officiating a recurring theme'

The benefit of having the international break was there for all to see at Paisley as Killie put in an excellent display that would have earned us three points on any other day.

The fact we only left with one point was once again down to substandard officiating. It really is a recurring theme.

VAR was introduced to assist our officials and improve their decision-making. Any amount of technology can be implemented but if the officials using it are incompetent then their mistakes are going to be compounded.

The referee bottled a red card for Mikael Mandron while VAR chose to ignore Shaun Rooney assaulting Kyle Vassell.

Killie were the better team throughout even though we had to play the second half with 10 men following Joe Wright's second dismissal in seven games.

Corrie Ndaba was outstanding and having Wright missing for a few weeks is no bad thing. We have another free weekend now but I expect us to start climbing the table when the action starts again.
