Rangers beat St. Mirren 1-0 in the Premiership, a match that stayed goalless until Bojan Miovski struck in the 90th minute. Ryan Naderi provided the assist as the home side turned territorial control into a late, decisive finish.

Match Summary

For a long time this Premiership meeting at Ibrox Stadium looked as if it would finish blank. Rangers enjoyed the greater share of possession, but St. Mirren reached half-time without conceding and stayed in the contest well into the second half.

Yellow cards then arrived close together. Calvin Ramsay was booked for St. Mirren in the 55th minute, and Dujon Sterling followed for Rangers in the 62nd. The cautions did not produce a sending-off or a change in numbers. Rangers still needed a late solution. It came in the 90th minute through Bojan Miovski, with Ryan Naderi assisting, and that single goal was enough for a 1-0 win.

Key Moments

The timing of the only goal was the swing that mattered. Until then the match had been tight enough that a draw felt available, and the late finish converted Rangers' control into three points instead of one.

Corners underlined that control. Rangers won 12 of them and St. Mirren won none, a split that showed how often the home side forced St. Mirren to defend deliveries. None of those set pieces produced an earlier goal, so the last minute carried the whole result.

The bookings for Ramsay and Sterling, either side of the hour, flagged a more physical passage without changing the on-field numbers. Both teams still had eleven players when Rangers finally scored.

Match Statistics

Rangers finished with 54 percent of possession to St. Mirren's 46 and outshot the visitors 18 to 10, putting seven attempts on target against two. The corner count of 12 to 0 was the clearest gap on the sheet. Each side received one yellow card, and there were no red cards.

What the Result Means

Rangers sit fourth in the Premiership on 10 points from five matches, with a goal difference of plus two. St. Mirren are third, also on 10 points from five games, with a goal difference of plus three. The sides are level on points after five matches.
