Jim Jefferies accused referee Dougie McDonald of jumping the gun when he pointed to the spot in Saturday's early kick-off game against Hibs. John Rankin went down under a challenge from Marius Zaliukas which looked very dubious and Anthony Stokes scored the opening goal. Jeffries said: "It was a very, very soft award. For a game that tight, you've got to be 100%, and he never hesitated for a minute. I was worried about that before the game." However, despite the players being aggrieved by the decision, Jeffries was pleased to see how they reacted. He went on: "The good thing for me is that they didn't go and feel sorry for themselves." |
