That was the plan, that we would get something in one of the games. He has been here for the last four or five weeks and is improved every week in terms of his fitness. Templeton has that bit of quality. He is still a good bit off it in terms of match sharpness and match fitness but you know at that stage of the game, when you are on top, he won't have much running to do and he has the quality to make something happen. I said that when I brought him in, if it is one moment, one goal, one cross, one assist that keeps us in the league then it could be important. If that can pay off that would be great."[125] In the following match, Templeton scored his first goal as the club lost 3–2 away at Ross County.[127] He later played in both legs of the Premiership play-offs, as Hamilton Academical won 1–0 on aggregate to retain their league status next season.[128] At the end of the 2016–17 season, Templeton made five appearances and scoring once in all competitions.
