Rangers winger Barrie McKay has revealed that him playing through the middle towards the end of the Gers' weekend clash with Aberdeen was not pre-planned, but more a result of the system manager Mark Warburton has implemented.
McKay was named in the starting eleven by Warburton and regularly operates out wide, where he can put his tricky skills to use and where he admits he feels most comfortable.
But towards the end of the match, which Rangers lost 2-1 after a last minute Aberdeen wonder-goal from a free-kick, McKay was seen more in the middle of the pitch.
There was no plan for the winger to be there though, he says, with it simply happening as a result of Warburton's system.
McKay however insists he is perfectly able to operate down the middle when needed and used to play there when he was younger.

"I wasn't really supposed to be, it was just more so the way that the gaffer's got us playing is that we can all interchange and we can all play different positions", he told Rangers TV, when asked about playing in the middle towards the end of the game at Pittodrie.
"I think it was just the way I ended up really. I ended up through the middle.
"I don't mind it. I've played there before when I was younger and wherever I end up on the pitch is where I tend to stay."
McKay admits though that he is most comfortable when he is operating on the flank.
"But naturally I would play out wide", he added.
McKay's Rangers have failed to win any of their last four Scottish Premiership games and have now slumped into the bottom half of the league table.
They will aim to return to winning ways this weekend when Partick Thistle visit Ibrox.
