Rangers briefly moved to the top of the Scottish Premiership with a 3-1 victory over Kilmarnock at Ibrox on Saturday, but defender James Penrice expressed disappointment with the team's second-half performance despite the crucial three points

Rangers defender James Penrice stated that the squad has come a long way since the start of the season, despite disappointment over their second-half performance in a 3-1 victory against Kilmarnock. Rangers secured the win to reach the top of the William Hill Premiership courtesy of two headers from Ryan Naderi and a goal from Kevin Kelsy, before Nicky Clescenco scored a late consolation for Kilmarnock.
Penrice explained that the muted dressing-room atmosphere reflected the team's higher standards after they conceded too many chances following the break. The victory marked Rangers' sixth consecutive league win, coming after a 20-day international break, while Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann lamented his side's lack of robustness in the first half.
