Rangers vs St. Johnstone: A Tale of Two Halves

When Rangers and St Johnstone locked horns at Ibrox on Saturday, many expected a comfortable victory for the home side. After all, they were the defending Scottish Premiership champions, while St Johnstone had endured a disappointing season.
However, the first half was anything but straightforward for Rangers. St Johnstone defended heroically, and created a number of chances of their own. The visitors even took the lead on the half-hour mark, through a stunning strike from Michael O'Halloran.
It looked as though Rangers were heading for a shock defeat, but they rallied in the second half. They equalised through a well-taken goal from Alfredo Morelos, and then took the lead through a stunning free-kick from James Tavernier.
Rangers were finally able to close out the game, and they secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory. It was a vital win for Steven Gerrard's side, who moved top of the table with the victory.
The game was a microcosm of Rangers' season so far. They have been inconsistent, but they have shown that they have the quality to win the title. If they can find some consistency, they will be a force to be reckoned with.

St Johnstone deserve credit for their performance.

They made life difficult for Rangers, and they were unlucky not to take something from the game. They will be hoping to bounce back when they face Hibernian next weekend.

Rangers will be delighted with the three points.

They showed great character to come from behind and win the game. It was a vital victory, and it has given them a huge boost in the title race. They will be confident of winning the title if they can maintain their current form.
