  1. 'Sloppy Rangers'

    St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    Rangers have been very, very sloppy. I don't remember them being this sloppy in an opening 45 minutes for some time.

  2. Booking for Saints' Muller

    St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    Hayden Muller's name goes into referee Willie Collum's book after he cynically took out Ryan Kent on the touchline to shut down a Rangers counter-attack.

    The defender can have no complaints.

  3. St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    St Johnstone go route one and Michael O'Halloran is close to latching on the knockdown from Zander Clark's punt. Felip Helander nips in to save the day for Rangers.

  4. GREAT SAVE!

    St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    Kemar Roofe takes aim for the top corner from 25 yards, but Saints keeper Zander Clark is equal to it with a fine parry.

  5. St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    The hosts work the ball well down the right and sling it into the penalty box where Chris Kane is waiting.

    The striker takes a fresh-air swipe, though, and the chance is gone.

  6. St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    The game has hit a lull with both sides struggling to pick a pass.

  7. St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    Just shy of the half-hour mark and Rangers have had 82% possession.

    They've not done a great deal with it, however, and have yet to register a shot on target as Saints defend with aplomb.

  8. 'Saints not phased by set-pieces'

    St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    Allan Preston
    Ex-St Johnstone defender on BBC Sportsound

    I've always felt with the back three of St Johnstone that when they're defending set-pieces they're never going to concede. It'll be interesting to see how they do with the new additions, though.

  9. St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    St Johnstone defender Hayden Muller does his best Johan Cryuff impression with a deft turn to flummox Ryan Kent.

    Muller was last man. Bold.

  10. St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    Calvin Bassey has Shaun Rooney on toast so far. Another run and cross from the Rangers left-back gives Kemar Roofe a close-range swipe at goal, but Hayden Muller blocks.

  11. St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    Rangers are cranking up the pressure now and Calvin Bassey drills the ball across goal, with Liam Craig sliding in to divert it behind. Excellent defending.

  12. St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    A better set-piece this time from James Tavernier finds Leon Balogun from a corner, but the Rangers defender can't keep his header down.

  13. 'Poor decision from McLaughlin'

    St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    Neil McCann
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Scotland

    I thought that was a really poor decision from Jon McLaughlin. Maybe it's because he's not been playing often. It's a yellow card, correct decision.

  14. McLaughlin yellow carded

    St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    A booking for Rangers keeper Jon McLaughlin as St Johnstone almost catch the champions out.

    Michael O'Halloran races on to a through ball and is clattered by McLaughlin who had rushed out of his penalty box.

    The free-kick comes to nothing but the home side are starting to settle.

  15. St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    Alfredo Morelos frees James Tavernier down the right, but the Rangers skipper kicks the ball off his standing foot and it squirts out of play.

  16. 'Saints can't just camp in'

    St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    Neil McCann
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Scotland

    It's important for St Johnstone playing a back five they don't just stay camped in. They've got to go and engage Rangers' full-backs, otherwise James Tavernier and Calvin Bassey will have too much freedom.

  17. St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    Rangers have all the early ball and Calvin Bassey's dart down the left flank is halted illegally by Shaun Rooney.

    It's a great free-kick opportunity, but James Tavernier's poor delivery is easily headed away.

  18. St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    Despite having practised with a back four in the warm-up, St Johnstone line up with their usual five-man defence.

    Mind games from Callum Davidson?

  19. KICK-OFF

    St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    After both sides take a knee, away we go...

  20. Rangers have 'good options' in Goldson absence - Gerrard

    St Johnstone v Rangers (12:30)

    Rangers manager Steven Gerrard tells Sky Sports he is confident his side have the players to replace Connor Goldson, who is self isolating.

    He said: "Time will tell, he's an important player for us, he's been crucial. Unfortunately we've got to do what we've got to do, thankfully we've got good options.

    "Callum Davidson has done a fantastic job here. Their form has probably suffered from trying to qualify in Europe, but if we're off it today we'll have issues."

    It's also a return to the dugout for Gerrard, who himself missed two games due to having to self isolate.

    He said: "It's better than being at home stuck in bed."
