Rangers were victorious in Paisley this afternoon as they defeated St Mirren by one goal to nil, however the performance was unconvincing.

It was new January signing Tuur Rommens who separated the sides in the first half.

And for the majority of the match, it was Rangers’ same old story as last weekend, lots of the ball but no real ruthlessness in front of goal.

Youssef Chermiti had a great chance in the first half, which he should have scored, and ex-Rangers’ striker Kris Boyd had his say on the lack of attacking threat from The Gers.

He said: “They don’t have a striker or strikers in there demanding the ball is crossed from the wide areas.

“There’s no better feeling in the world than scoring goals on a regular basis and if you can do it to lead your team to a title. That is what’s at stake for Rangers right now.

“I don’t see that ruthlessness from Rangers’ strikers.”

However, the main task today for Rangers was to get nothing less than a win and narrow the gap at the top to just three points. And they managed to complete that task.

After the match, Rohl said: “I felt this morning when we met each other, there was so much energy in the dressing room. It was fantastic.

“There’s so much belief in our group, there’s no doubt that we can achieve something this season. But you have to take the results and today we did.

“I think the table now looks better than before this matchday and this is great.”

Wins are vital at this stage in the season, but The Gers support will be looking to see some more commanding victories in the weeks to come.
