Rangers moved top of the Scottish Premiership this afternoon – for now, at least.

Steven Gerrard’s side eeked out a narrow 1-0 win at St Mirren to move three points ahead of second-placed Celtic, who play later today.

Forgotten Rangers man Borna Barisic was the hero as his stunning free-kick on the hour mark proved the difference between both sides.

Billy Dodds told BBC Sport Scotland: “For me, he’s not kicked the ball in the game.

“But the first one he has to deliver is that and I’m telling you that is world class. The pace, the accuracy, it’s incredible.”

Indeed it was quite an incredible strike from Barisic, but the question is can he now kick on?

The Croatia international has had positive moments in a Rangers shirt before, but they usually fade quickly and suddenly he’s out of the team again.

At £2.2 million [The Record], Barisic was a big investment by the Gers last summer but he didn’t have a brilliant first season.

And it’s fascinating to know whether the left-back can now stay in the side.
