FIRST HALF DOMINANCE
The first 45 minutes was simply dominant stuff by Rangers as they registered 75 per cent possession and fired off 17 attempts on goal. Only three of those were on target though as Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s team were toothless in the final third as they looked for an opener. Antonio Colak failed to get into the game and attacking midfielders Ryan Kent, Fashion Sakala and Malik Tilman also appeared to lack ideas when in and around the box. St Johnstone defended well over the course of the opening period, but ultimately a lack of goal threat hurt Rangers. They then found themselves a goal down at the interval as James Brown scored a stunning goal for the hosts.
