Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! St. Mirren FC welcome Rangers FC for this crunch clash at The SMISA Stadium.

  • 12' The referee shows Rangers FC player a card on 12.
  • 17' Marcus Fraser is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for St. Mirren FC tonight.
  • 22' 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 John Souttar suffering a number of foals already.
  • 27' Rangers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 27.
  • 28' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Ryan Strain on 28 minutes.
  • 30' GOAL! James Tavernier scores on 30.
  • 35' Both keepers have barely been tested. St. Mirren FC and Rangers FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 38' It’s gonna be a card for Zak Lovelace.
  • 41' Ross McCausland has so much to prove this time. He replaces Zak Lovelace on 41 minute.

  • 53' St. Mirren 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.
  • 58' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 61' Time for substitution for Rangers FC. Kemar Roofe is replaced by Cyriel Dessers.
  • 66' The travelling Rangers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 68' The St. Mirren FC manager makes a substitution. Keanu Baccus departs to be replaced by Caolan Boyd Munce.
  • 71' Abdallah Sima makes no mistake. The score reads 0-2 and Rangers FC are in front.
  • 76' Bailey Rice has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 81' Conor McMenamin makes way for Stav Nachmani at the 81 minute mark. A tactical switch from St. Mirren FC.
