SPL Dreaming

Well at least the three points keeps Rangers in the title hunt, even if they are ten points behind Celtic.

It took a late goal from Novo to give secure a victory over St. Mirren. Even thought They had looked down and out at half-time, they fought back well.

Rangers started well with lots of good movement and passing, but nothing to show for it. Then in their first atteck the Saints scored. Simon Lappin sent in a cross cross that reached John Sutton who headed past Lionel Letizi.

Charlie Adm was still on fire and his thunderous shot from a free-kick went in past Tony Bullock.

Rangers took the lead when Thomas Buffel slipped the ball past Bullock after slicing through the St Mirren defence. I love this guy, class in a glass.

Rangers where well on top and the Saint's goalie Bullock made a stop from Boyd. All the good Rangers work was from Thomase Buffel, Barry Ferguson and Brahim Hemdani.

On the hour, Bullock again saved from Boyd, who then had a penalty claim waved away getting in a tangle with David van Zanten.

Saints started to gain some confidence and Sutton had a header then tested Letizi. But then the referee awarded St Mirren a penalty when Rodriguez was adjudged to have pushed Mark Corcoran. Sutton took the penalty and score down low

Rangers came back and Ferguson had a header straight at Bullock. Then Novo netted the winner with five minutes to go. He smacked the ball into the net after Bullock had blocked an Adam shot.
