St Johnstone 4 Rangers 1:Rangers suffered a shock setback in their attempts to wrap up the Clydesdale Bank Premier League title at the earliest opportunity as St Johnstone bolstered their hopes of a top-six finish with a stunning 4-1 win over the champions-elect.

Goals from on-loan Celtic striker Cillian Sheridan, Chris Millar, Liam Craig and Murray Davidson sealed an impressive victory for Derek McInnes’ men as Rangers squandered the chance to move 13 points clear of Celtic at the summit.

Sasa Papac secured the points the last time Rangers visited McDiarmid Park but his goal tonight was scant consolation for a side which had not conceded four goals outside an Old Firm derby since defeat at Hearts in September 2007.
