Because, as ex-Ibrox stalwart Jason Holt rolled back the years against Callum McGregor and co, St Johnstone’s stunning 1-0 victory over Brendan Rodgers’ champions-elect ensures that the gap between twelfth and eleventh-place Dundee now stands at just four points.To think, before Sunday afternoon’s coupon-buster, just about everyone at McDiarmid Park expected to end the weekend eight adrift.
Is a great escape really on the cards? Or is Daniels Balodis’ fourth minute header destined to become a false dawn before the eventual rainclouds set in for good, and a rare moment for the Rangers support to mock their silver-hoarding neighbours in green.
One things for sure, as Southampton’s relegation from the Premier League at breakneck, record-setting speed was finally confirmed on Sunday afternoon, there will be no St Johnstone-style charge south of the border.
