After six domestic matches Philippe Clement has watched his side being awarded five penalties. Strangely in two European ties James Tavernier hasn’t been required.
Last week in the League Cup semi-final against Hearts Nick Walsh obliged with a nod from Willie Collum on VAR duty.
Today away to Livingston with the match goal-less a penalty was awarded for a ridiculous dive from Ross McCausland, brought up in the traditions at Murray Park.
Steven McLean obliged by pointing to the penalty spot with Steven Kirkland backing him up from the VAR studio. Tavpen stepped up and shot wide of the post.
Respect for the fallen. https://t.co/clh3A3dvrm

In his second match in charge John Beaton and Alan Muir were on penalty duty against Hearts with Tavernier missing the first and scoring the second.
If this is a penalty, then there is something wrong with our game. pic.twitter.com/DZgpBM3jpz
