But that did allow for wholesale changes just after the hour with Greive and Connor Main brought on at the same time as Rangers’ on-loan Manchester United winger Amad Diallo.

So how’d he go against the reigning Scottish champs? He definitely had a lot of defending to do against a strong team intent on more goals, Greive throwing himself into the match with his typical enthusiasm and energy. To the point where he got himself clattered by James Sands battling for a half-clearance at the back. That one rocked the jaw and he needed some treatment (to the frustrations of Rangers fans, whose team was on the attack).
Joe Aribo then scored an incredible fourth goal for RFC, given too much space on the edge of the area and boom what a goal. But Greive had a couple impressive moments in attack too. Peeling off to the left on 82’ the pass from Connor Ronan was probably a little heavy dragging Greive wider than he intended and that shot was blocked. Though five minutes later he dribbled infield from the left and ripped a quickfire shot that for a split second looked like it was gonna beat Allan McGregor inside the far post but nah the veteran keeper showed he’s still got it with a wonderful low diving save. Main then headed over from the resulting corner.

So St Mirren did have chances for a consolation goal in there. Just weren’t able to convert, not that it would’ve made a difference. 4-0 loss and that ends the first phase of the SPL. A couple months ago they looked like they might finish as high as fourth but now the Saints have dropped into the relegation rounds at the split. Got some work left to do to avoid the drop.
