# Rangers Dominate in Scottish Premiership Round 4, Securing Victory Over St Johnstone and Reclaiming Top Spot
Rangers returned to the summit of the Scottish Premiership standings after a commanding 3-1 victory over St Johnstone in Round 4. The victory not only extended their lead at the top but also highlighted their growing dominance in the league this season.
The match, played at Ibrox, saw Rangers dictate the pace from the first whistle. Goals from James Tavernier, Alfredo Morelos, and a late winner from Kemar Roofe sealed the win. Tavernier opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a well-taken strike, and Morelos doubled the advantage just before halftime with a clinical finish. Roofe’s late goal ensured Rangers maintained their composure and walked away with all three points.
This win was particularly significant as it came against a St Johnstone side that had previously proven tricky opponents for Rangers. The result also marked Rangers’ return to the top of the league table, with Celtic dropping to second place.
Manager Steven Gerrard will be pleased with his side’s performance, especially their defensive resilience. St Johnstone, despite their efforts, struggled to break down Rangers’ backline, which was solidified by goalkeeper Allan McGregor. The victory also showcased Rangers’ attacking depth, with multiple players contributing to the goal tally.
Looking ahead, Rangers have a crucial encounter against Celtic in the next fixture, with the league title race heating up. This win will give them confidence, but Gerrard knows there’s still a long way to go.
For now, though, Rangers are back in control, and their determination to retain their league crown is stronger than ever.
