A last-minute goal from substitute Bojan Miovski gave Rangers a hard-fought 1-0 victory over St Mirren at Ibrox Park in the Scottish Premiership. The win marked Rangers’ fourth consecutive league victory, continuing their strong start to the season. Manager Derek McInnes, returning to the touchline after a two-game suspension, watched as St Mirren’s Australian goalkeeper Jacob Chapman made several crucial saves in the first half, though Rangers struggled to capitalize on their chances. St Mirren, who had lost 5-1 to Rangers in the Premier Sports Cup just a month earlier, showed more confidence after halftime, with Fraser Taylor coming close to scoring.
Despite the efforts from both sides, the match remained tightly contested, and frustration grew among Rangers fans, who had been vocal about the team’s early-season struggles. However, in the final moments of regular time, Miovski, who had replaced Djeidi Gassama, scored a decisive goal in the box to secure the win. His goal came after a series of missed opportunities and defensive resilience from both teams.
Meanwhile, Celtic continued their dominant run in the league with a 1-0 victory over St Johnstone. The win extended their unbeaten streak to 13 matches, a run that now includes the final games of last season. German midfielder Mika Baur, a summer signing, scored his first goal for the club early in the second half after debutant goalkeeper Sam Johnstone made a stunning save in the first half to deny St Johnstone’s Joel Cotterill.
Celtic manager Martin O'Neill used the match to rotate his squad ahead of the upcoming Old Firm derby against Rangers in the Premier Sports Cup. Key players like Camilo Duran, Benjamin Nygren, and Kieran Tierney were rested or placed on the bench, while defender Cameron Carter-Vickers was given the night off. Though the performance wasn’t their most dominant, the victory ensured Celtic remained undefeated in the league and reinforced their status as title favorites.
