ST. mirren vs rangers 

Rangers' lackluster Scottish Premiership campaign continued at St Mirren, where a stunning stoppage-time goal from Caolan Boyd-Munce left Philippe Clement's team trailing 12 points behind leaders Celtic as they concluded Boxing Day.

Despite hopes that the Ibrox club had made progress, suffering their first defeat in four years in Paisley represents a significant setback for the visitors.

The opening half was uneventful, but Jack Butland's careless foul on Greg Kiltie led to Oisin Smyth converting the resulting penalty, sending the former England goalkeeper the wrong way.

The tenacity, intensity, and defensive organization displayed by Stephen Robinson's squad were commendable against a Rangers team that produced a disappointing first-half performance.

However, the introduction of Nicolas Raskin and Danilo at halftime significantly elevated the visitors' performance, with Danilo equalizing from close range shortly after being denied by goalkeeper Ellery Balcombe.

Despite a marked improvement in the second half, Clement's side was unable to take the lead, and they ultimately saw one point slip away when substitute Boyd-Munce struck a spectacular goal from 20 yards in the 93rd minute.

This remarkable victory for St Mirren propels the hosts to fifth place in the Premiership.
