Rangers may have been outclassed at Anfield but they were too strong for St Mirren as Antonio Colak continued his red-hot start with another deadly double.
The Croatian striker was back in Gio van Bronckhorst ’s team after being stood down from action in their Champions League defeat to Liverpool. And he ensured the Light Blues had no hangover from their Merseyside mauling with an early opener.
James Tavernier stroked home a penalty 30 minutes in to give the hosts breathing room at Ibrox and there was no way back for Stephen Robinson’s Saints when Colak notched his 13 goals in just 16 appearances for the Govan outfit with 17 minutes left. There was more pain in store for the visitors, however, as Fashion Sakala marked just his third start of the season with a goal in stoppage time.
