St Mirren 0-1 Rangers: Borna Barisic scores first goal for Glasgow side in Paisley win

Borna Barisic scored his first Rangers goal to give Steven Gerrard’s side a workmanlike win over a stubborn St Mirren in Paisley.

The Croatian left-back, restored to the side after the midweek Europa League draw with Legia Warsaw, curled in a free-kick just short of the hour mark.

It was reward for Rangers’ dominance of possession but a reflection of St Mirren’s ability to deny them chances.

The Buddies, though, failed to test Allan McGregor in the Rangers goal.

Rangers move three points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership table ahead of holders Celtic hosting Hearts in the afternoon kick-off.

St Mirren have now not beaten the Ibrox side in 10 meetings, losing the last four.
