Rangers gave themselves some much-needed respite with a 3-0 Premiership win over 10-man St Mirren in Paisley. The club’s former midfielder Steven Davis began his spell as caretaker manager with a 2-1 Europa League defeat against Aris Limassol in Cyprus on Thursday night and there was a sense of foreboding about the trip to the SMiSA Stadium.
Some Rangers fans unravelled banners early in the game which read “Heartless, passionless, leaderless; not fit to wear our colours”. However, the supporters were buoyed by their captain, James Tavernier, scoring from the spot in the 29th minute after Saints’ Ryan Strain was shown a red card by the referee, Nick Walsh, for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity.
