'It's 100% not a goal'published at 14:38
FT: St Johnstone 0-4 Rangers
Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has seen the replays of Steven Davis' controversial goal-line clearance and believes it was definitely not a goal.
Speaking to BT Sport, he said: "I think Steven Davis has done tremendously well on both occasions. When the viewers see the first angle it does look like it's in but when you see the one that goes right across the line it's 100% not a goal.

"I think that sums Davis' performance up. He was my man of the match. Ryan Jack followed him really close. We've got good players in good form at the moment and it's great to see."

Pat Bonner
Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageThere's a debate among Celtic fans as to where Ryan Christie's best position is. Personally, I think he is better in that No.10 role in behind Odsonne Edouard rather than playing out on the wing.

FT: St Johnstone 0-4 Rangers
Rangers manager Steven Gerrard praised Alfredo Morelos following the Colombian's 12th goal of the season.
Speaking to BT Sport, Gerrard said: "He's in terrific form. I thought on Thursday night for the majority of the game he was unplayable. That's the reason I kept him in.
Image source, SNSImage caption, "He's such a threat," says Steven Gerrard of in-form Alfredo Morelos
"It's always tempting to make the change when you've got Jermain Defoe there, but while he's like this we need to keep him on the pitch because he's such a threat. He had a fantastic chance in the first half and nearly got us the breakthrough then.
"While he's on the pitch you always know that if he keeps getting in the right places he's going to find the back of the net."

Billy Dodds
Former Scotland striker on SportsoundQuote MessageYou couldn't deny Rangers their three points, even though they had a couple of contentious decisions. I don't know what Steven Gerrard's half-time team talk was but it must have been something like 'Let's get the attitude right' because they really turned it on in the second half

Pat Bonner
Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageLaurentiu Branescu is so unlucky. What a save from the keeper to keep James Forrest's header out and then there's Ryan Christie to follow it up and knock it into the empty net.

FT: St Johnstone 0-4 Rangers
Tyrone Smith
BBC Scotland at McDiarmid ParkA classic game of two halves: Rangers were sluggish in the first, the very opposite in the second.
Steven Gerrard's half-time team talk appeared to do the trick, as the visitors threatened to run over the top of the Perth side after the break. Their big-game players stepped up to the plate and delivered what was a comfortable - and crucial - win.
As for St Johnstone, things could perhaps have been different if Allan McGregor hadn't foiled Michael O'Halloran at the end of the first half .... Saints must just lick their wounds and move on.

Billy Dodds
Former Scotland striker on SportsoundQuote MessageWhen the game is this open and you are leaving space to try and get a goal then you're playing risky football. When a player with the quality Defoe has gets in the box with the ball then there's usually only one outcome. He's that type of player that can absolutely ruin you.
