With Lawrence Shankland and Youssef Chermiti unavailable, Kevin Kelsy and Ryan Naderi have forged a fruitful front-two for Rangers, combining for three goals and an assist in the 4-0 win over St Johnstone. Naderi's unorthodox impact had already drawn Thomas Muller comparisons after the Kilmarnock victory on 11 October 2026.
Rangers responded to dropped points at Dundee with a dominant 4-0 home win over St Johnstone, with Kevin Kelsy scoring twice and Ryan Naderi netting and assisting. The victory, their first from a corner this season, keeps them within a point of Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic ahead of Wednesday's trip to Hearts.
Rangers missed the chance to return to the top of the Scottish Premiership after being held to a pulsating 2-2 draw at Dens Park, with a Dan Neil error gifting Dundee an equaliser. Bradley Fink and Callum Jones scored for the hosts, while Badredine Bouanani and Nico Raskin struck for the Ibrox side, leaving Derek McInnes' men one point behind leaders Celtic.
Ryan Naderi's strike gave Rangers a 1-0 win at Celtic Park — their second Old Firm victory in eight days — to cut Celtic's Scottish Premiership lead to two points. Auston Trusty had an early effort ruled out for offside, Ivor Pandur made a huge save to deny Colby Donovan and Olwethu Makhanya's volley was disallowed for handball as Derek McInnes became the first manager since 1991 to win his first two Old Firm games. Celtic were booed off at full-time, with Martin O'Neill calling for a 'rethink and reset'.
