  • 0' Welcome to Ibrox Stadium that hosts another battle between Rangers FC and St. Johnstone FC.
  • 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Cameron MacPherson, as he is very good at scoring at Ibrox Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 13' A stunning finish from James Tavernier — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 18' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering St. Johnstone FC that had 259 games and scored 254 goals.
  • 23' The travelling St. Johnstone FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 28' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Rangers FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.

  • 51' Rangers FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined St. Johnstone FC backline.

  • 62' It is a substitution in Rangers FC team. Todd Cantwell is replaced by Fashion Sakala on 62 minute.
