Tom Lawrence's seventh-minute strike settled it as Philippe Clement's side put paid to a challenging fortnight
Resolute Rangers stood tall to secure a morale-boosting 1-0 win over Dundee United as they cut the gap on leaders' Celtic and Aberdeen to five points.
A grump shared by Rangers fans has been the tentative nature of their away displays, dating back months, so there would have been delight over the red-hot intent shown from the first whistle. And it paid off as Lawrence danced his way through before finishing with aplomb.
Kristijan Trapanovski had his hand in his head after his shot clonked the post, however, on closer inspection it showed the deflection off Barron was the reason it caused Jack Butland to frantically scramble across his goal. And there was a similar tale of woe for Lawrence who was inches away from scoring again some solo magic. And Lawrence was once again cursing his luck after he couldn't turn substitute Hamza Igamane's inch-perfect pass past Jack Walton.
Good willing to be bad There's not a feeling more chastening for a professional football than to be hoicked off under the guise of a tactical substitution. That's what Kevin Holt experienced when he departed in the 34th minute, the Irishman changed his shape, but it never feels good. And Adegboyega didn't make it out for the second half after he avoided a red for his industrial tackle on Barron.
