RANGERS opened-up the second half of the Scottish Premiership season with victory over St Mirren at Ibrox tonight.
Jermain Defoe’s first-half strike was the difference between the sides as Gers kept up the pace at the top of the table.
From the side which defeated Stranraer here in Govan in the Scottish Cup on Friday, Steven Gerrard made no-less than six changes.
Wes Foderingham, Nathan Patterson, George Edmundson, Andy Halliday, Scott Arfield and Jordan Jones all switched to the bench, with their places in the XI taken by Allan McGregor, Jon Flanagan, captain for the evening Connor Goldson, Borna Barisic, Glen Kamara and Ryan Kent.
