Rangers boss Derek McInnes piles the praise on in-form striker Ryan Naderi

Rangers manager Derek McInnes praised striker Ryan Naderi after his goal helped secure a 2-0 victory against St Mirren in Paisley. The Czech forward netted a first-half penalty to score his ninth goal across all competitions this season, before captain Dan Neil added a second after the hour-mark. The win extended Rangers' unbeaten run to 12 matches and moved them within a single point of Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic.

McInnes highlighted Naderi's physical presence and goal-scoring reliability, emphasizing that the striker is becoming a dependable figure despite having more potential to unlock. Meanwhile, St Mirren manager Craig McLeish voiced frustration regarding referee Nick Walsh's decision to award the decisive first-half penalty against Samuel Ramos for a foul on James Penrice.
