ST JOHNSTONE
ZANDER CLARK 6
Nothing he could do with Wright’s opener. Hardly tested otherwise.
JASON KERR 6
Proved a threat for Saints when he stepped into midfield from the back. Defended well against a strong Gers attack.
LIAM GORDON 7
Came out on top in a battle with big Cedric Itten. Strong in the air and in the tackle.
JAMIE MCCART 6
Competed well and made a couple of important interceptions for Saints. Made good use of the ball when moving out from the back.
CALLUM BOOTH 7
Got up and down the left flank well. Kept both Tavernier and Patterson quiet too.
LIAM CRAIG 8
The veteran midfielder kept Saints ticking in the middle. A trademark performance capped off with a fine penalty.
DAVID WOTHERSPOON 7
Looked a threat when in possession and his roll overs caused the Rangers fullbacks all kinds of issues.
STEVIE MAY 8
Really intelligent display from the striker. His clever runs in behind were so important for the Perth outfit.
GUY MELAMED 5
Forced off after just 20 minutes through a head injury. Found the back of the net in that time but was ruled offside.
ALI MCCANN 7
Enjoyed a well contested midfield battle with fellow countryman Steven Davis. Fought well and was clever in possession.
SHAUN ROONEY 7
Kept Barisic busy all evening as he bombed forward at every opportunity. Was strict positionally too.
SUBS
CHRIS KANE (FOR MELAMED, 21) 7
Ran his socks off up top. Kept the Rangers defence on their toes all game.
MICHAEL O’HALLORAN (FOR MAY, 73) 4
His pace was a useful asset in the dying stages.
SCOTT TANSER (FOR BOOTH, 73) 4
Provided a more forward-thinking option as the home side searched for an equaliser.
CRAIG BRYSON (FOR WOTHERSPOON, 78) 4
Provided a late burst of energy into the Saints midfield.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
