The Story in 60 Seconds

Former Rangers captain Barry Ferguson has urged manager Derek McInnes to alter his attacking lineup for the upcoming match against St Johnstone. Ferguson suggested dropping Badredine Bouanani back to the bench to reunite strikers Kevin Kelsy and Ryan Naderi, despite Bouanani scoring and posing a constant threat during the recent 2-2 draw with Dundee.

Writer Dan Lewis agreed with Ferguson's stance, arguing that McInnes disrupted a proven winning formula by benching Kelsy. Rangers had previously beaten Kilmarnock 3-1 with Naderi and Kelsy leading the line, and Lewis notes that an unburdened schedule gives McInnes little reason to rotate his preferred strike pairing.
