Rangers drew 2-2 away at St Johnstone this afternoon.
Rangers’ title hopes appear to be over after only managing a 2-2 draw away at St Johnstone this afternoon.
The Gers travelled to McDiarmid Park on Sunday afternoon, and looked to take their comeback win over Braga into this clash.
However, Steven Gerrard’s men were woefully disappointing in the first half, and fell behind when Nikola Katic couldn’t deal a ball forward, and Callum Hendry swooped in to score.
Gerrard hauled off Andy Halliday at the break, bringing on striker Florian Kamberi whilst shifting Joe Aribo to left back, and Kamberi made an instant impact with a stunning strike to level the game.
Kamberi then dummied the ball past Jason Kerr before setting up Joe Aribo to make it 2-1, seemingly giving Rangers the win – but Stevie May capitalised on more slack defending to score the leveller.
Rangers couldn’t find the winner, and with Celtic beating Kilmarnock, Rangers are now 12 points adrift of their Old Firm rivals in the title race.
The way Rangers have dipped since the winter break is really concerning, but new signing Kamberi has made a big impact, with the 24-year-old arguably Rangers’ best player today.
Rangers fans praised him on Twitter as ‘the difference’ between Gerrard’s men playing well and struggling in the final third. Some believe that he should now start ahead of Alfredo Morelos, feeling that his impact has been unexpected, but a welcome boost in attack.
