Five Rangers players named in Scottish Premiership Team of the Week after 2-0 win v St Mirren
Five Rangers players have been named in the WhoScored Team of the Week after the club’s 2-0 win against St Mirren.
On-loan attacker Abdallah Sima netted both goals of the match at Ibrox on Sunday (3 December), with midfielder Todd Cantwell assisting both.
The Scottish Premiership victory leaves the Gers sitting second in the table on 31 points, with St Mirren in fourth on 22.
As per Sky Sports, a total of five of Philippe Clement’s players made it into the Scottish Premiership Team of the Week.
Sima and Cantwell both made it after their goal involvements, joined by full-backs James Tavernier and Borna Barisic, and young attacker Ross McCausland.
Important win
Rangers certainly needed three points in their league clash with St Mirren after their very disappointing draw against Aris Limassol.
The Gers were held to a 1-1 stalemate at home to the Cypriot club in Europa League group stage action on Thursday (30 November).
And while it was not a fantastic display against Stephen Robinson’s side, Clement will still be happy that a vital three points were secured.
Fierce rivals Celtic did, however, also clinch three points with a 3-1 victory away to St. Johnstone on Sunday, despite trailing the match 1-0 at half-time.
Up next for Clement and his players is a tough test away to Hearts on Wednesday (6 December), followed by a home clash with Dundee on Saturday (9 December).
Then comes the most crucial period for Clement at Ibrox so far, with the Gers meeting Real Betis in the Europa League and Aberdeen in the Viaplay Cup final.
In other Rangers news, a Sky Sports pundit has slammed a Gers “failure” as a “booby prize” is on the cards for the Ibrox club.
