Rory Loy wowed by 'marvellous' Rangers vs St Mirren moment he saw - 'oh my goodness'
The Bears were looking to extend their three game winning streak in the Scottish Premiership.
Derek McInnes handed first starts to Badredine Bouanani and Kevin Kelsy, and Ryan Naderi came into the side.
Lawrence Shankland, Findlay Curtis and Minsu Kim were axed from the team for the Ibrox clash.
The Light Blues were on top in the early stages, and they should have taken the lead on several occasions.
They eventually got the breakthrough with Bojan Miovski's late strike being the difference.
What left Rory Loy stunned in Rangers vs St Mirren
Naderi had a brilliant chance in the 20th minute, when Djeidi Gassama found him in the box.
However, the German could not find the net, and Henry Fieldson produced a brilliant defensive action.
Speaking live on BBC Sportsound on Wednesday, ex-Gers star Rory Loy was wowed by the scenes.
The striker who made two appearances for the Bears, said: “Oh my goodness, it looked for all the will in the world that was a certain goal.
“It’s a beautiful ball from James Penrice, really well worked by Rangers actually, Nicolas Raskin’s ball out to Gassama was top-draw.
“Gassama takes the ball up the pitch, slides the ball in between the full-back and the right centre back, the ball flashes across the face of goal and you’re just thinking Naderi is going to bundle it in, quite marvellous intervention by Fieldson.”
Naderi had not had the luck so far, and questions over whether he the right man to lead the line for McInnes' side will continue.
How does Loy feel about Naderi?
Naderi has notched six goals and five assists in 21 matches for the Gers since signing from Hansa
Loy is not convinced about his abilities, believing that he is not of the required quality for the Gers.
Speaking earlier in the day on the Scottish Football podcast, he said: “Naderi works hard, he’s industrious and has got the odd goal through sheer workrate and harassing defenders.
“I think he lacks quality, I’m not sure he’s got the quality he needed to be a Rangers player.”
Whether his verdict is fair or not, will be proved in the coming months, as the 23-year-old will be relied upon in the midst of Shankland potentially being out for four months.
It is probably too soon to fully judge Naderi, especially as he has to work with two different managers with different systems in his time in Govan.
However, right now, it is looking as though Loy's stance may turn out to be the correct one, given his regular struggles to make an impact in Scottish football.
McInnes will hope that it is wrong, and he turns out to be a regular contributor, but it does not look likely at the minute even with his assist.
Therefore, Kelsy will have to come up trumps after his £9.5million move from Portland Timbers.
