Rangers celebrated a dramatic stoppage-time winner from Bojan Miovski against St Mirren at Ibrox, maintaining momentum ahead of two crucial clashes with Celtic. The 1-0 victory keeps Rangers within three points of the reigning champions, who also won 1-0 at St Johnstone. A defeat would have left Philippe Clement's side seven points adrift before Sunday's Premier Sports Cup quarter-final and next week's Premiership meeting at Celtic Park.

Rangers are now unbeaten in five home games with four straight wins since losing to Hibernian last month. However, Clement acknowledged his rebuilt squad remains a work in progress. "I thought we got what we deserved," he told BBC Scotland, noting St Mirren's improved second-half spell. Former Rangers midfielder Andy Halliday disagreed with Clement's assessment, believing St Mirren had more than a 20-minute period of dominance.

Injuries to first-choice strikers Youssef Chermiti and Lawrence Shankland, plus new signing Daisuke Yokota's groin surgery, forced Miovski into action. The Macedonian forward, previously fifth-choice and seemingly headed for the exit, became an unlikely saviour. Halliday suggested Miovski is now "more in the picture" for selection, though Ryan Naderi remains Clement's preferred option up front.
