In an entertaining game Allan McGregor was required to keep the visitors out until finally being beaten three minutes from time, while Rangers were on the goal trail again.

As well as a rare opposition goal in the league at Ibrox – Marc McNulty’s was only the second scored this season – a flock of pigeons played a part in proceedings, dropping on to share the pitch with the players at regular intervals.

The most important thing was three points though and the fans are beginning to get excited as the title looms into vision.

John Gourlay: “The wait’s nearly over and we are back where we belong.”

Kallen Kerr: “That's much more like it from us. McGregor and Aribo were standouts. A second goal conceded in the league at Ibrox this season is a disgrace though. How dare they!”

Fraser McLay: “The fact we feel disappointed losing a goal over the 4-1 win shows the mentality. Well deserved and glad Alfie got a goal, killer instinct. Aribo was quality – three to go.”

Ian Greig: “Love that we are 4-0 up conceded that goal and McGregor was going mental at the defence.”

Eddie Devine: “We had that much control ..the pigeons had time to feed in our half?”

@NOTELINYI: “Well done I wish every club came at us like they did. To allow us to play our game.”

@Sh4zam_: “Beautiful win today onto Thursday night McGregor was amazing pulling those big saves off and Aribo was amazing as well bring on Thursday night.”
