Derek McInnes has revealed his son is best mates with a rival Scottish Premiership star - so the player is "never out of my house".

The Ibrox boss shared a smile speaking post-match after the 1-0 win over St Mirren as he explained his relationship with Fraser Taylor, through his son.

The Buddies midfielder has a massive opportunity to open the scoring at Ibrox but was denied with Ivor Pandur making a huge stop.

Discussing the huge moment in the match, McInnes joked Taylor is never out of the McInnes household, but would "never get back in" if he had scored.

In his post-match press conference, McInnes said: "Wee Fraser Taylor is my son's best pal, he's never out of my house. He would never get back in it if he had scored.

"I kept saying to him ‘what's your team, are you playing?’ I said ‘If you don't tell me, I'll tell Craig McLeish you told me anyway!

"But going back to Ivor, it was a big moment.

"Obviously, I’ve seen wee Fraser doing that for the school team, as a young player running through it, and he's normally a good finisher, but I thought Ivor stood up and was calm in that instance."
