Kevin Kelsy’s Brace Secures Rangers’ Dominant 4-0 Win Over St Johnstone at Ibrox
Rangers showcased their strength with a 4-0 win against St Johnstone at Ibrox, highlighted by Kevin Kelsy’s two goals. The result boosts their Scottish Premiership ambitions under Derek McInnes.
Rangers delivered a commanding performance at Ibrox Stadium on Saturday, securing a 4-0 victory over St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership. Venezuelan forward Kevin Kelsy was the star of the show, netting two goals to help Derek McInnes’ side return to winning ways after a recent slip-up.
After a frustrating 1-1 draw against Dundee last weekend, Rangers were determined to reestablish their dominance in the league. The home team controlled the first half, creating multiple chances and taking the lead in the 29th minute through Kelsy, who expertly finished to put the Light Blues ahead going into halftime.
St Johnstone showed early promise after the break, starting the second half with some attacking intent. However, Rangers quickly regained control, with Ryan Naderi doubling the advantage in the 61st minute. Kelsy then added his second goal five minutes later, effectively putting the match beyond doubt and showcasing his growing influence on the team.
The contest took a pivotal turn in the 74th minute when St Johnstone substitute Kai Fotheringham was sent off for a high challenge on Rangers midfielder Nico Raskin. Reduced to ten men, the visitors struggled to keep pace, and substitute Tochi Chukwuani capped off the dominant display with a late goal in the 87th minute, sealing a comprehensive 4-0 win for Rangers.
This victory not only boosts Rangers’ confidence but also sends a clear message to their Scottish Premiership rivals about their title intentions. Under McInnes, the team demonstrated a blend of attacking prowess and defensive solidity, essential qualities for a successful campaign.
Looking ahead, Rangers will aim to build on this momentum as they prepare for their next fixtures, while St Johnstone must regroup quickly after the heavy defeat and disciplinary setback. The match underscored the importance of discipline and clinical finishing in the ongoing title race.
