00:00
Rangers ended the week on a high following their European victory over Nice.
00:07
Last Thursday they ran out 1-0 winners over St Johnson at MacDermid Park in Perth on Sunday.
00:15
A 1-0 scoreline for Ligue 1 Clermont's side finally starting to find their rhythm in the second half.
00:21
They had opportunities to make the scoreline more comfortable than it turned out to be with Danilo
00:27
passing up three decent chances in the second half.
00:30
The only goal of the game arrived after 63 minutes.
00:34
It was Yanis Hadji who was making his first start for Rangers in 18 months.
00:39
It was his cross, a looping cross, headed into his own net by Jason Holt under pressure from captain James Tavenier
00:48
who was back in the Rangers team in place of the injured Dujan Sterling.
00:53
Sterling isn't predicted to be out for too long.
00:56
It was a blocked nerve that prevented him from making the trip to Perth on Sunday.
01:02
Tavenier's overall contribution was fairly solid by all accounts,
01:07
but for the Ligue 1 Clermont it certainly made it clear that he is not a regular starter now going forward.
01:15
A slight concern will be Rangers' injury woes have appeared to have struck again.
01:22
Nana Kassanwirjo, who's on loan from Feyenoord, it looks highly likely that his season could be over
01:30
after Clermont confirmed post-match that the versatile Dutch defender faces up to six months on the sidelines
01:38
after undergoing a knee operation due to damaged ligaments over the weekend.
01:44
So that's another blow for Clermont who certainly hasn't had the troubles to seek.
01:49
He's currently operating, of course, without the likes of Rabbie Matondo, Oscar Cortes and Tom Lawrence,
01:56
but the pleasing thing for him will be three points.
02:00
Rangers still remain 11 points behind Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership,
02:05
but this was a welcome three points for Rangers against St. Johnson.
