Rangers remain unbeaten under Michael Beale after a controversy-filled victory over 10-man St Johnstone at Ibrox.
James Tavernier’s penalty put Rangers in front after James Brown was punished for handball before St Johnstone were reduced to 10-men when Nicky Clark was sent off for a challenge on Ryan Jack.
Jack then immediately avoided a red card for a late tackle despite a VAR check, before Glen Kamara sealed the victory Rangers after the break.
It is now nine wins for Beale since he took charge and they move to within six points of Celtic ahead of their match against Dundee United on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.
St Johnstone have now suffered seven straight defeats and remain eighth in the Scottish Premiership.
