Saturday night had the potential to be a tough encounter at St Mirren, but I felt Rangers were well worth the 2-0 victory.

Sometimes away from home we start overly cautiously and allow the opposition to get a foothold in the game - Dundee and Hearts are prime examples of that.

But on Saturday, we came right out of the traps, pressed St Mirren and made our attacking intentions clear.

Before we get on to the missed chances, we have to talk about another decision in Rangers' favour and, of course, as night follows day, there must be a manufactured controversy to go along with it.

James Penrice is clipped by Samuel Ramos in the box. Nick Walsh is right there. Penalty. If the same thing happens in the middle of the pitch, it's a foul, so this nonsense about thresholds and such language being used is just that... nonsense.

Anyway, before that, Ryan Naderi should have put us one up and then took his penalty like a man with confidence. That's 14 goal contributions in 18 games this season.

However, I was more impressed with how he physically dominated Alex Gogic. There are not many players who get the better of him in a physical battle.

We played pretty well. The football was slick when it had to be, with Kim Min-su being at the heart of it again. When Dan Neil made it two, we stepped off and didn't really show the ruthlessness we all wish to see. The xG was 3.34.

I felt Manny Fernandez was excellent again. It was simple defending, and he's finding his form.

Overall, it was a pleasing night - three points, still unbeaten away from home and moving forward nicely.

The clinical edge will elevate this team, but we'll see if it arrives.

We go into the international break in good form and will have to be bang at it when we come back, as we go to Fir Park.
