**Rangers Roar Back to the Top with 3-0 Thrashing of St Johnstone**
Rangers returned to the top of the Scottish Premiership table with a commanding 3-0 victory over St Johnstone at Ibrox on Saturday. The Glasgow giants produced a dominant display, securing their fourth win in a row and extending their lead at the summit of the league.
From the first whistle, Rangers dictated the pace of the game, and their dominance was evident. St Johnstone struggled to contain the visitors’ fluid attacking play, and it wasn’t long before the hosts took the lead. A well-worked move saw James Taverner slot home from close range in the 15th minute, sending the Ibrox faithful into raptures.
Rangers’ second goal came just eight minutes later, as St Johnstone’s defense failed to deal with another swift counter-attack. Another clinical finish, this time from Scott Arfield, doubled the lead and further silenced the away support. The rout was completed in the 55th minute when Taverner scored again, this time with a powerful strike from outside the box.
St Johnstone, despite their best efforts, couldn’t find a breakthrough, and Rangers’ controlling performance ensured a comfortable 3-0 victory. The result sends a strong message of intent from Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side, who are now firmly in contention for a league title challenge.
Fans will be eager to see if Rangers can maintain this form as they prepare for their next fixture against Celtic. For now, though, the team’s recent display has reignited hopes of a successful season.
