The Story in 60 Seconds

McInnes opted to field Ryan Naderi as a lone striker rather than continuing with their successful two-striker system, which Grant argued gave Dundee an advantage and disrupted Rangers' momentum.

Rangers had fought back through goals from Badredine Bouanani and Nicolas Raskin but could not find a winner before Kelsy's 75th-minute introduction. Following Celtic's subsequent 7-1 win over Hearts, Rangers fell six points behind their rivals, with writer Pete Hanson arguing McInnes should reinstate Kelsy against St Johnstone.
