Chris Sutton was amazed that Hibs didn’t get a penalty when David Bates handled late on in the 2-1 defeat from Sevco.
Neil Lennon claimed that his side pumped their opponents but were denied a penalty by referee Kevin Clancy and his assistant.
.@btsportfootball Rangers dug in well to beat Hibs???????? Big let off with handball by young Bates ????Hibs must be wondering how they didn’t get something from the game.. Dominant for large parts????

Hibs took an early lead through Lewis Stevenson but were rocked by two goals lost just before half time.
The result left Lennon bemused by his side’s failure to take anything from a match that the dominated for long stages but left them trailing the Ibrox side by six points.
On Saturday Hibs travel to Aberdeen as they complete a run of three matches against the top three clubs in a week.
The Irishman is expected to be busy in the January transfer window as he looks to build on Hibs’ impressive return to the top flight.
Nial McGinn has been in talks with the club but the former Celtic winger is expected to receive offers from Aberdeen and Hearts.
