Kris Boyd makes Sky Sports studio laugh as he's pushed for answer on Rangers incident

Kris Boyd believes Rangers' first-half display against Kilmarnock on Saturday was crucial for the three points.

The Gers picked up their seventh consecutive win in all competitions as they returned to action with a 3-1 success against Killie.

Goals from Ryan Naderi and Kevin Kelsy ensured that the three points went to the Bears, who are now emerging favourites to win the Scottish Premiership.

Derek McInnes has insisted that he and everyone else need to remain level-headed with a long way to go in the season yet, as plenty more twists and turns will come.

But the Light Blues are rarely involved in a game that isn't filled with controversy.

One moment in particular raised questions of whether Kelsy handled the ball in the build-up to his goal, as Boyd offers his verdict.

Kelsy was never in Rangers' plans until Youssef Chermiti suffered a devastating ACL injury.

The Venezuelan international arrived at Ibrox from MLS side Portland Timbers in a big-money move worth £9.5million.

The 22-year-old bagged his first Scottish Premiership goal against Kilmarnock, but while trying to chest the ball down in the build-up to his goal, some suggested it struck his arm.

Boyd was speaking to James McFadden on Sky Sports ahead of Celtic's game against Motherwell on Sunday, as they discussed Kelsy's incident.

McFadden asked, "Handball there?" to which Boyd replied, "Nah, I mean, it's inconclusive, isn't it, really?"

The Sky Sports studio laughed as McFadden jokingly responded: "Open your eyes and then say."

Boyd stated: "Well, it was inconclusive." The Sky Sports studio and McFadden had another chuckle.

The former Rangers man did praise Kilmarnock for the way they attacked the Gers, suggesting that was why the home side didn't have much success in the second 45.

However, Boyd was particularly impressed with one player at Ibrox.

What did Boyd say about Ryan Naderi?

Naderi has taken lots of the plaudits for his two goals against Kilmarnock, with the striker now on six for the season.

The Czechia international didn't hit the ground running after arriving in January, but is now starting to turn heads, including Boyd, who made no secret of his admiration for the forward.

Boyd said: "For Naderi, I'm starting to like the look of him. He's putting himself about, causing problems for the opposition.

"We said when he arrived, he's a striker; if you put the ball in the box, he will score goals."

He credited James Penrice's cross for Naderi's header, admitting that the Gers are now in a "good place".

Kelsy and Naderi are currently complementing each other well, and McInnes may have one massive headache once Lawrence Shankland returns.

For now, they just have to keep winning.
