HALF-TIME Rangers 0-0 St Johnstonepublished at 18:33 British Summer Time 17 August
Plenty of effort and intent from Rangers but in truth St Johnstone have had the most clear cut chances.
An intriguing one at the national stadium and an interesting 45 minutes to come.

Rangers 0-0 St Johnstone
Another Rangers effort as Rabbi Matondo's shot deflects over. It was travelling.
CLOSE!published at 18:31 British Summer Time 17 August
Rangers 0-0 St Johnstone
Mohamed Diomande lifts a cross into the St Johnstone box and Danilo does well to direct a header in the general direction of the goal but it bounces just wide.
Propper off for Rangerspublished at 18:29 British Summer Time 17 August
Rangers 0-0 St Johnstone
Rangers have an injury to contend with now. Robin Propper pulls up with what looks like a groin strain and he's going to be replaced by Ben Davies.
HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 18:26 British Summer Time 17 August
Rangers 0-0 St Johnstone
Vaclav Cerny is in behind the St Johnstone defence again as he latches on to a long ball but the ball just will not fall for him as St Johnstone scramble out for a corner.
Josh Rae punches clear the corner and Saints mount an attack of their own. Matthew Smith puts an excellent ball in from the right and Adam Sidibeh volleys on to the outside of the right-hand post.
Big let off for the hosts.

Rangers 0-0 St Johnstone
Another big Rangers chance as Danilo finds Vaclav Cerny, who hurries his shot and blazes off target.
'Clement will be frustrated'published at 18:22 British Summer Time 17 August
Rangers 0-0 St Johnstone
Richard Foster
Former Rangers defender on BBC Radio ScotlandI think Philippe Clement will be frustrated. Rangers have had one good opportunity and some half chances, I think for the way they started the game you'd expect them to have had more chances.
The lack of goalmouth action is going to probably frustrate Clement.

Rangers 0-0 St Johnstone
Another decent spell of possession from Rangers and Jefte bends a shot over the St Johnstone goal.
'Should be 1-0'published at 18:17 British Summer Time 17 August
Rangers 0-0 St Johnstone
Neil McCann
Former Rangers winger on BBC Radio ScotlandHe's made amends Rae, because it's a it of a howler at first.
Danilo is just trying to clip it past him, it should be 1-0 Rangers, but also a really good stop in the end.

Rangers 0-0 St Johnstone
Mohamed Diomande tests Josh Rae from the edge of the box and Danilo latches on to the rebound only to be denied by the St Johnstone goalkeeper.
Another decent chance for the hosts.

Rangers 0-0 St Johnstone
Jefte sets up Danilo and this time there's no flag. Danilo tries to sweep the ball towards goal but cannot hit the target.
Pressure building on St Johnstonepublished at 18:11 British Summer Time 17 August
Rangers 0-0 St Johnstone
Martin Dowden
BBC Sport Scotland at Hampden ParkMinute by minute it feels like Rangers are going to pierce this St Johnstone defence, despite Andre Raymond's glaring opportunity moments ago.
They are exposed wide on their right and while Rangers haven't had much direct on target, it feels like that avenue has to be closed off before they pay for it.

Rangers 0-0 St Johnstone
Neil McCann
Former Rangers winger on BBC Radio ScotlandThat left channel for Rangers is a problem for St Johnstone.
They may need to flatten out the midfield to stop Jefte from getting so much joy.

Rangers 0-0 St Johnstone
Big chance for St Johnstone as Andre Raymond gets the break of the ball off James Tavernier and shoots for goal. John Souttar gets in the way and concedes the corner.

Rangers 0-0 St Johnstone
Danilo flashes an effort wide but there was an offside flag raised against Jefte, who set up the shot for his Rangers team-mate.
Postpublished at 18:06 British Summer Time 17 August
Rangers 0-0 St Johnstone
Twenty minutes in and it's been a positive start for Rangers, without really troubling the St Johnstone defence.
Saints are clearing their lines but their forward players have a lot of ground to cover and are struggling to get into the game.

Rangers 0-0 St Johnstone
More pressing by Rangers and another effort off target by James Tavernier. He rushed that one and had better options.

Rangers 0-0 St Johnstone
Dujon Sterling advances at pace and almost gets in behind the St Johnstone defence but Jack Sanders ushers the ball out for a goal kick.

Rangers 0-0 St Johnstone
Rangers build from left to right and captain James Tavernier lifts a shot high and wide of the St Johnstone goal.
