Aribo Escapes Fans Rage As Rangers Falter At St Johnstone

Nigeria international Joe Aribo was once again on the scorers’ sheet, but Steven Gerrard’s men dropped two precious points after managing a disappointing 2-2 draw with St Johnstone on Sunday.

Days after netting a brilliant solo effort in the 3-2 come-back defeat of Braga in the Europa League, Aribo struck again at the McDiarmid Park, but a late strike from May earned the hosts a share of the points.

Hendry had given the home side an early lead before super-sub Kamberi brought the Gers back on levelled terms shortly after the restart. Aribo thought he had smashed home the winner for the visitors in the 71st minute before the hosts’ sucker-punch equaliser.

The Light Blues now have 64 points after 27 games, but rivals and leaders, Celtic, are set to go 12 points clear with a victory at home to Kilmarnock. The champions have played one game more, though.

Fans of the Gers were left disappointed with the performance of the Ibrox side, with only Aribo and teammate Kamberi spared the fury of the Glasgow giants’ supporters.

Aribo has five goals and seven assists in all competitions so far for Rangers. The Nigerian only joined the Scottish giants at the start of the season after his contract ended with English side, Charlton Athletic.
