Watch as Ally McCoist celebrates heroic Rangers penalty save

This is the moment that Ally McCoist celebrated Liam Kelly's heroic Rangers penalty save from the commentary gantry.

Kelly was handed a rare start by Barry Ferguson, as the gaffer made a bold selection call to drop No.1 Jack Butland after his spate of high-profile mistakes this season.

Despite being down to 10 men for the majority of the game, following Robin Propper's red card on 13 minutes, Kelly didn't have that much to do, as he and his defence marshalled Rangers' goal mouth well.

Kelly produced a moment of magic to save a penalty from Alex Berenguer with his legs.

Shown the clip post-match, McCoist admitted: "I was happy. I forgot that the camera was behind me!"
