It was arguably Rangers’ best performance of the season. Although the scoreline may suggest otherwise, it was indeed a comfortable win for the Gers.
Ryan Jack scored the only goal of the match in the 30th minute. Rangers defended well, and they thoroughly deserve their win on the back of a high-tempo display.
The Gers now have moved level with Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, although the Bhoys have played a game less.
