Gio van Bronckhorst's Ibrox days are surely numbered after his Rangers side suffered yet another slip-up in Paisley.
Although James Tavernier grabbed a point for his side as his VAR-awarded spot-kick cancelled out Jonah Ayunga’s opener for the Buddies, it’s was nowhere near enough for their under-pressure gaffer. Having spilled seven points in their last five least games, the Light Blues now face the prospect of watching Ange Postecoglou’s rampant Celtic disappearing over the horizon.
The Ibrox board gave their manager a stay of execution after last week’s defeat to St Johnstone but only in the expectation he lose no further ground on their bitter rivals. But the men at the top of the marble staircase must now decide to if they still have faith in the former Feyenoord coach to turn this increasingly desperate situation around. For Stephen Robinson’s St Mirren, it was another game where they couldn’t hold on. Having been pegged back by a 97th minute equaliser against St Johnstone in midweek, they were denied a sixth win in their last nine home games by Tavernier’s penalty six minutes from time as the chance to move back into the top six slipped through their fingers.
