Rangers Close Gap to Celtic With St Mirren Win, Set Up Old Firm Chance to Draw Level

Danny Rohl's side has won eight of 11 league games to reignite belief before the Parkhead trip.

Overview

  • Rangers beat St Mirren 2-1 at Ibrox through goals from Thelo Aasgaard and Emmanuel Fernandez, with Jack Butland saving a penalty before Mikael Mandron's late reply.
  • The result moved Rangers to within three points of Celtic and six of leaders Hearts, and a win at Celtic Park would take them level with Celtic on 38 points.
  • Rohl has recorded eight wins in 11 Premiership matches since taking charge in October, with his only league loss coming against Hearts.
  • Rohl said confidence has returned and urged the appointment of a strong referee for the derby, with officials yet to be named by the SFA.
  • With the January transfer window opening, Rohl said Rangers are on the front foot to add reinforcements in identified positions.
