Rangers scored a stoppage-time winner through Bojan Miovski to beat St Mirren 1-0 at Ibrox, narrowly avoiding a damaging result just before a crucial run of two fixtures against city rivals Celtic. The late strike spared manager Derek McInnes from a difficult post-match reaction after a disjointed second-half display had prompted boos and early departures from frustrated home supporters.

Had the result not gone Rangers' way, they would have fallen seven points behind Celtic, who beat St Johnstone 1-0 to maintain their 100% league record, with just six games played. Rangers are now unbeaten in five home matches and have won four straight, though McInnes acknowledged his side were dominant for the first hour before losing control as St Mirren pushed back. Rangers next face Celtic in Sunday's Premier Sports Cup quarter-final, followed by a Premiership meeting at Celtic Park a week later.
