Wright: 'It was a clear penalty'

St Johnstone manager Tommy Wright has insisted that his side deserved the penalty that helped them to a 1-0 win at Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership.

Darryl Westlake was adjudged to have fouled Michael O'Halloran in the box late on, allowing Brian Graham to rifle home the Saints' winner from 12 yards.

"No doubts, I was just surprised there wasn't a red card because it was a good goal-scoring opportunity," Wright told BBC Sport, when quizzed about the penalty kick.

The Saints boss also revealed that forward James McFadden pulled his hamstring during the match, while defender Frazer Wright soldiered on with a broken nose.
