Rangers moved one point behind Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic thanks to goals from Ryan Naderi and Dan Neil in a 2-0 win over St Mirren.
Draws against Dundee and Hearts in their last two Premiership games away from Ibrox had blemished the Gers’ focused title challenge, but Derek McInnes’s side were determined to leave The Marbill Coaches Stadium without a mark on them.
In-form striker Ryan Naderi scored a penalty after 18 minutes after James Penrice was fouled – a decision Sky Sports’ co-commentator James McFadden called “softer than soft”.
Dan Neil added a second just after the hour mark with a deflected strike to extend the Light Blues’ unbeaten run in all competitions to 12 games.
Rangers moved to within one point of leaders Celtic having played the same number of fixtures, albeit the Hoops can can restore their four-point lead against Kilmarnock at Celtic Park on Sunday before the international break gives the league another breather.
