Rangers 'should have been awarded goal against Hibs'
Rangers should have had a goal awarded as they concluded the Scottish Premiership season with a 2-2 draw away to Hibernian, the Scottish FA's key match incident panel has ruled.
Hibs immediately scored at the other end to equalise through Kieran Bowie after referee Nick Walsh allowed play to continue after Nico Raskin's effort was cleared by Rocky Bushiri, with Rangers claiming it had crossed the goalline.

Rangers have demanded the introduction of goal-line technology as a result of the controversial 17 May incident.
The KMI panel has now determined by a majority of four to one that the midfielder's effort should have stood.
They ruled that the video assistant referee (VAR) should have intervened and recommended a goal.
However, one member of the panel highlighted that they did not think there was conclusive evidence that the ball had crossed the line and a VAR intervention should not take place.
Meanwhile, the panel ruled that Ross County should not have been awarded a stoppage-time penalty in their 14 May draw away to Dundee.

Ronan Hale equalised and the result meant the battle between the two sides to avoid second bottom spot and a play-off to remain in the Premiership went to the final day of the season.
Home defender Antonio Portales was penalised for a handball, but the KMI panel decided by a majority of four to one that VAR should have intervened to recommend to referee Walsh that he should cancel the award.
However, one member of the panel highlighted that they thought it was a punishable handball and the penalty award was correct.
Despite the reprieve at Dens Park, County finished second bottom and go into Monday's second leg at home to Championship runners-up Livingston with the tie level at 1-1.

Ex-Premier League midfielder predicts Saints to 'struggle' under Still
FORMER Premier League midfielder David Dunn has predicted Saints will struggle in the Championship under new boss Will Still. Dunn, a one-time England international, believes new Southampton boss Still faces a real challenge in charge of the recently relegated side. Advertisement Saints are currently the second-favourites to win promotion from the Championship, behind Ipswich, who won 10 points more than them in the Premier League last season. Speaking to OLGB, Dunn said: 'I watched him on Monday Night Football a couple of months ago. He came across well. I think he's done well in his previous job. Will Still cut his teeth in Belgium before making a new for himself in French football. (Image: Southampton FC) READ: Saints fans are right to be excited about Edwards following QPR loan "But again, English football is totally different. I think it's going to be a real challenge, if I'm being honest. Advertisement "He's got to get a real buy-in early doors from the group. I think it's going to be tough. I think Southampton could struggle.' Saints won just 12 points in the Premier League last season, cycling through two managers before appointing Simon Rusk in interim charge until the end of the season. Belgian-born Still has never worked in English senior football, but joins Saints after guiding Lens to an eighth-place finish last season, missing out on Europe by five points. The 32 year old, who has signed a three-year deal, has set out to win promotion in his first season at the club.
