St Mirren 0-3 Rangers: Sakala double helps Rangers to final day win

Four in four games for Fashion Sakala since the splitFashion Sakala has scored four in four games fsince the Premiership split

Fashion Sakala’s double at St Mirren helped ensure Michael Beale’s first season as Rangers manager ended with a Scottish Premiership win.

Two fine solo strikes took the wind out of Stephen Robinson’s side, who have failed to claim a victory post split despite finishing in the top six for the first time in 38 years.

Antonio Colak, back after a few weeks injured, nodded in a third from close range to complete the rout.

It means Rangers finish on 92 points – a tally which would have been enough to win the Scottish Premiership five times in the last 10 years.
