ST MIRREN 0 RANGERS 2: It’s back to the grind for McInnes’ men as they show grit to see off Buddies

Rangers secured a hard-fought 2-0 victory away against St Mirren in Paisley to collect three crucial Scottish Premiership points. Derek McInnes' side opened the scoring through Ryan Naderi, who converted a first-half penalty won by James Penrice. Captain Dan Neil doubled the visitors' advantage just after the hour mark with a deflected effort following strong buildup play from Kevin Kelsy.

St Mirren pressed to find a route back into the match but were repeatedly denied by Rangers goalkeeper Ivor Pandur, who produced a vital reaction stop against substitute Eseosa Sule. The home side also hit the woodwork through Calvin Ramsay, but McInnes' men held firm defensively to see out an important away win ahead of the international break.
