Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers won 4-1 against St. Johnstone last night.

Graeme Murty has told the Glasgow Evening Times that his Glasgow Rangers side were not happy at full-time, despite beating St. Johnstone 4-1 last night.

The Light Blues picked up a comfortable three points in the contest, but Rangers’ players were disappointed that they let their guard slip late on in the contest.

It is a sign of rising standards at Rangers that the squad are now unsatisfied with comprehensive victories.

And Murty says he was pleased with the way his squad reacted to the victory.

“I had a little go at the players after the game. I questioned whether they would have taken 4-1 before the game and they said yes so I asked what they were moaning about,” Murty said.

“They said the last half hour wasn’t good enough and they need to be better and that’s great for me to hear.

“But I told them we came and did the job we set out to do. Do you think we can get better? They said yes but I said to leave it there, not be too down, and move forward.”

Rangers were 4-0 up inside an hour last night, with Murty’s side going from strength to strength.

James Tavernier opened the scoring for the Light Blues, before Josh Windass, Sean Goss and Alfredo Morelos got in on the act.

Rangers did let their standards slip when the game was wrapped up, and conceded late on to lose their clean sheet.

It wasn’t a particularly costly goal to concede though, as Rangers have kept the pressure on Celtic.

Murty’s side have been in strong form over recent weeks, and have reduced the gap on the league leaders down to six points.
