Rangers 1-0 St Johnstone

Dessers and Sidibeh came into collision as the ball went out but no strong penalty appeals.
Rangers 1-0 St Johnstone
Eight minutes of added time begin.
Rangers 1-0 St Johnstone
An excellent long-range pass by Dujon Sterling sends Ross McCausland in on the St Johnstone goal and he draws a save from Josh Rae.
Rangers 1-0 St Johnstone
Rangers squeeze out another chance as Robbie Fraser sends an effort at goal but a deflection takes the sting out of it as goalkeeper Josh Rae saves.
Rangers 1-0 St Johnstone
Adama Sidibeh fouls John Souttar and the St Johnstone forward is booked. A clumsy challenge.
Rangers 1-0 St Johnstone
Robbie Fraser squares for Cyriel Dessers and the Rangers striker smacks an effort just wide.
Rangers 1-0 St Johnstone
An important touch from Jack Sanders to prevent Mohamed Diomande's pass reaching Cyriel Dessers.
St Johnstone have defended well this evening.

Neil McCann
Former Rangers winger on BBC Radio Scotland
It's happened a number of times now in the final third, that last piece of execution, that final touch is lacking.
Rangers 1-0 St Johnstone
Double change for the hosts with Ross McCausland and Robbie Fraser on for Vaclav Cerny and Rabbi Matondo.
Rangers 1-0 St Johnstone
Last 10 minutes. Rangers would like a second goal but are trying to take the sting out of the game when in possession.
St Johnstone are a bit hurried when they get the ball, trying to carve out that one chance.
Rangers 1-0 St Johnstone
Richard Foster
Former Rangers defender on BBC Radio Scotland
Adama Sidibeh in those little channels against Ben Davies is definitely an out ball for St Johnstone because he doesn't look comfortable.
Rangers 1-0 St Johnstone
Keeper Jack Butland is way out of his Rangers goal to make a clearance and Lewis Neilson tries to score an audacious effort into the empty goal but it is too high. St Johnstone felt Adama Sidibeh had been fouled by John Souttar in the build-up to that attempt.
Rangers 1-0 St Johnstone
Fifteen minutes to go at the national stadium. Holders Rangers are in front but St Johnstone are far from out of this Premier Sports Cup tie.
Mackenzie Kirk has replaced Cammy MacPherson for the visitors.

Rangers 1-0 St Johnstone
Adama Sidibeh tests Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland from the 18-yard line. It was probably going over but no chances taken there.
Rangers 1-0 St Johnstone
Cyriel Dessers notched his third goal of the season - eventually.
The goal was originally disallowed for a foul by the Rangers forward but VAR overturned that decision, much to the chagrin of the visitors.

Josh Rae is St Johnstone's saviour as Rabbi Matondo shoots from point-blank range. Matondo really should have put that one away but credit to the goalkeeper.
Rangers 1-0 St Johnstone
Rabbi Matondo gets in behind the St Johnstone defence and his effort is deflected out for a corner. James Tavernier's delivery is knocked towards goal by Ben Davies but Saints scramble clear.
Rangers 1-0 St Johnstone
Martin Dowden
BBC Sport Scotland at Hampden Park
It looked from this vantage within Hampden Park that referee Matthew MacDermid had blown for a foul on Jack Sanders before Cyriel Dessers ran on to net. Arm raised and players seemed to react to that.
The assumption then is VAR should not be involved as the decision was given early and impacted players carrying on.
What controversy. The St Johnstone squad are furious with that.
Rangers 1-0 St Johnstone
Neil McCann
Former Rangers winger on BBC Radio Scotland
If a decision is given by the ref, the players will stop - they play to the whistle.
The argument is the referee blew the whistle and gave the free-kick, I don't think it should stand.
Rangers 1-0 St Johnstone
In all the comings and goings there, Rangers replaced Kieran Dowell with Connor Barron.
