Overview

  • Teenager Findlay Curtis came off the bench to equalise in the 78th minute after Rangers trailed for most of the second half.
  • Jonah Ayunga put St Mirren ahead on a counter-attack in the first half, and goalkeeper Shamal George made a goal-line save to deny Thelo Aasgaard.
  • Rangers have opened the Premiership with three draws for the first time since 1989, prompting boos from the travelling support at full-time.
  • Russell Martin said striker Hamza Igamane told him he was injured when asked to come on, a revelation that followed a rejected bid for the player earlier in the week.
  • Focus now shifts to Wednesday’s Champions League play-off second leg at Club Brugge with Rangers 3-1 down, then to hosting Celtic on Sunday with their rivals able to move nine points clear with a win.
