A dramatic last-gasp strike from substitute Bojan Miovski gave Rangers a 1-0 Premiership win over St Mirren at Ibrox.<\/p>\n

Back in the technical area after a two-game touchline suspension, Derek McInnes watched St Mirren\u2019s Australian goalkeeper Jacob Chapman keep the home side at bay in the first half with a string of saves, albeit helped by some poor finishing.<\/p>\n

Craig McLeish\u2019s side, who lost 5-1 at Ibrox in the Premier Sports Cup last month, grew in confidence after the break and Fraser Taylor missed a great chance while the frustrated home support returned to the state of agitation which characterised the start of the season.<\/p>\n

However, in the final seconds of normal time, Miovski, on for Djeidi Gassama, pounced in the box to grab the winner to make it four victories in a row.<\/p>\n

The German midfielder struck from close range early in the second half after the debutant Hoops keeper Sam Johnstone had produced a stunning first-half save to deny Saints midfielder Joel Cotterill.<\/p>\n

It was a night when the Celtic head coach, Martin O\u2019Neill, was able to demonstrate the depth of his squad before Sunday\u2019s Old Firm meeting away to Rangers<\/a> in the Premier Sports Cup, with key players such as Camilo Duran, Benjamin Nygren and Kieran Tierney on the bench and defender Cameron Carter-Vickers given the evening off.<\/p>\n

Although far from their convincing best, the Hoops did enough to close out a sixth consecutive league victory this term and their 13th in a row in total stretching back to the closing weeks of last season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A dramatic last-gasp strike from substitute Bojan Miovski gave Rangers a 1-0 Premiership win over St Mirren at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":619812,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-619811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/619811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=619811"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/619811\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/619812"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=619811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=619811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=619811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
