Rangers picked up an important victory against St Mirren at Ibrox tonight.
Some Rangers fans have been left less than impressed with the performance of Jon Flanagan tonight, despite Steven Gerrard’s team picking up an important victory.
Jermain Defoe was the poacher in the box to capitalise on Borna Barisic’s deflected low cross and fire his team into a one-goal lead.
That first-half effort was enough to secure the three points on a night that Rangers had to win, with league leaders Celtic also victorious away to Kilmarnock.
While the win will no doubt delight fans, some were left disappointed by Flanagan, especially in the wake of Nathan Patterson’s debut last Friday night.

He opted for Flanagan tonight, but there could now be a clamouring for the 27-year-old to be switched out of the side ahead of this weekend’s clash away to Hearts at Tynecastle.
