Kevin Kelsy scored twice as Rangers defeated St Johnstone 4-0 at Ibrox, moving within a point of Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership. Kelsy opened the scoring in the 29th minute when Ryan Naderi squared to him to tap in. After St Johnstone made a triple substitution at the break, Naderi added a second goal in the 61st minute, bundling in after goalkeeper Toby Steward spilled a shot. Kelsy then scored again five minutes later when he diverted Emmanuel Fernandez's header into the net at the back post.

Substitute Tochi Chukwuani added the fourth goal with three minutes remaining. St Johnstone's Kai Fotheringham was shown a straight red card in the 74th minute for a high challenge on Nico Raskin, after being reviewed by the video assistant referee. The comprehensive victory saw Rangers extend their good form after dropping two points at Dundee the previous Saturday.

Celtic can restore a four-point advantage when they travel to Hibernian on Sunday.
