  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Rangers FC and St. Johnstone FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 20' St. Johnstone FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 21' Poor challenge from Kemar Roofe. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 26' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Craig Bryson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 31' Guy Melamed has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 251 appearances.
  • 36' Fresh legs for St. Johnstone FC! Liam Craig comes on to replace Murray Davidson.
