    Killie fans might want to relive that fine win for their side, so here's a link to Jamie Lyall's match report.

    Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers tells BBC Scotland that Celtic fans should be alarmed by that defeat.

    There were 48,729 at Ibrox and most left delighted with their team's hammering of St Johnstone, but you can read how the game went here.

  3. Celtic's worst start in 20 yearspublished at 17:06 BST 23 September 2018

    Earlier, former Celtic youth defender Stuart Findlay scored with a late header as Brendan Rodgers' side slumped to a 2-1 defeat away to Kilmarnock.

    It leaves Hearts five points clear at the top of the table, with Celtic slipping behind their Ayrshire hosts on goal difference into sixth.

    That's Celtic's worst start to a league season for 20 years.

    FT: Rangers 5-1 St Johnstone

    Rangers and St Johnstone started the day level on points, but the gulf between them was wider than the three-point difference that follows the thrashing the Perth side have just received at Ibrox.

    Steven Gerrard's side move up six places to second in the Premiership table, above Hibs and Livingston on goal difference and five behind leaders Hearts.

    St Johnstone stay in eighth.

  5. FULL-TIME Rangers 5-1 St Johnstonepublished at 16:50 BST 23 September 2018

    Rangers had their usual celebration of Armed Forces Day before kick-off and they have blown St Johnstone away on the park.

    Captain James Tavernier got the ball rolling with a fine free-kick and Alfredo Morelos added the second before the break.

    Scott Arfield and Kyle Lafferty settled the game as a contest before Blair Alston replied from the penalty spot and Daniel Candeias restored the four-goal advantage.
