Having drawn three of their past four league outings, Danny Rohl made three changes from the side that were knocked out of the Scottish Cup by Celtic last weekend.<\/p>\n
Much was made of their lack of cutting edge against Celtic last weekend – beaten on penalties after a goalless 120 minutes prior – and they once again struggled in the final third.<\/p>\n
Chermiti and Naderi both struggled to get into the game and Tavernier had countless crosses headed clear by the home defence.<\/p>\n
Mikey Moore was an ever-willing outlet and thought he had teed up a second in second-half stoppage time, but Thelo Aasgaard’s finish was chalked off for a tight offside.<\/p>\n
However, Raskin and Rommens produced the one bit of class and composure that mattered and at this stage of the season, results are more important than performances.<\/p>\n
Rangers host Aberdeen and Dundee United next, before finishing their pre-split fixtures at Falkirk.<\/p>\n
St Mirren were without Marcus Fraser and Keanu Baccus – who will likely miss the rest of the season through injury – and Declan John, who picked up a less serious issue in the build-up.<\/p>\n
They join an already lengthy list of absentees and the Paisley club are still without a league win since 3 February.<\/p>\n
With Kilmarnock’s upturn under Neil McCann, particularly at home, St Mirren are at real risk of relegation after eight years in the top flight.<\/p>\n
Despite three consecutive top-six finishes and a memorable League Cup triumph in December, they have struggled in the league all season and now have to navigate the final eight matches of the campaign without Robinson.<\/p>\n
The new manager – whoever it may be – will have the hugely difficult task of reversing their recent form and avoiding the relegation play-off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Having drawn three of their past four league outings, Danny Rohl made three changes from the side that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":292418,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-525158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=525158"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525158\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/292418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=525158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=525158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=525158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
