The Story in 60 Seconds

Rangers secured a dominant 4-0 victory over St Johnstone at a storm-swept Ibrox to move within one point of Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic. Kevin Kelsy opened the scoring in the 32nd minute before Ryan Naderi doubled the lead in the second half. Kelsy then added his second from a corner, and Tochi Chukwuani completed the scoring late on after St Johnstone's Kai Fotheringham was sent off for a high challenge on Nico Raskin.

Manager Derek McInnes made effective squad rotations, with South Korean winger Minsu Kim playing an instrumental role in creating three goals alongside lively wide partner Badredine Bouanani. St Johnstone goalkeeper Toby Steward produced multiple key saves to prevent an even heavier defeat for Simo Valakari's side, who struggled to establish possession in challenging weather conditions brought on by Storm Boelo.
