Rangers went away to St. Johnstone in the Scotland premiership and determined the pace of play at the McDiarmid Park. It took Rangers 24’ into the game to open the scoring through Kemar Roofe. 7 minutes after, Glem Kamara extended the lead with a sweet assist from Joe Aribo before the first half whistle.
It was all a routine now as the visitors controlled 64 percent of the ball allowing the home team little chance to create any opening.
