Rangers beat St Johnstone 2-1 on Sunday afternoon.
Rangers produced a superb recovery in the second half of Sunday’s game with St Johnstone, winning 2-1 having been 1-0 down at half time.
The Gers went into the game having drawn 0-0 away at Hibernian in midweek, and were looking to get back to winning ways with a trip to Perth.
However, Steven Gerrard’s men went behind in the first half, as winger Matty Kennedy – a boyhood Rangers fan – haunted the Gers by scoring the opening goal for St Johnstone.
Rangers were dire in the first half, but did improve after the break, with Alfredo Morelos bringing the scores level with a header from Glenn Middleton’s cross.
Rangers did grab all three points late on though, as Morelos slammed home a dramatic winner to send the Gers fans home happy with another three points.
Fans will have been pleased with three points, and the game really turned when Gerrard brought on striker Kyle Lafferty as a second half substitute for Lassana Coulibaly in the 56th minute.
Lafferty joined Morelos up front, and whilst he hasn’t been in great form lately, he really aided Rangers get up the pitch with his hold-up play whilst supporting Morelos on his way to two goals.
Fans then took to Twitter to suggest that Lafferty made a huge difference, and urged boss Gerrard to make a tactical change by going to two up front in future, handing Lafferty a starting role.
