Chris Sutton was less surprised by Sevco’s 1-1 draw at St Johnstone than Kris Boyd.
After a four match winning run things caught up with Mark Warburton’s side who are now 16 points behind Celtic having played one match more.
Of more relevance is a five point lead over Aberdeen who have a game in hand over the tribute act.
Sutton has played a straight card throughout the season and refused to get carried away by claims of momentum coming from Ibrox.
.@btsportfootball Draw about fair Rangers toothless 2nd half after total domination up to the St Johnstone goal! The gap gets bigger at top!

Stephen Craigan feels @RangersFC are fortunate to be level, after two controversial penalty shouts. #SPFL https://t.co/eNZ4I6u4UZ

.@btsportfootball Just for the record it’s not actually my fault Rangers drew tonight! May end up to be a good point in the race for 2nd????

With Dave King refusing any more spending January will be a testing month for Warbo who will require all his city trading skills to keep the plates spinning.
A home defeat from Celtic on Saturday may prove one plate too many to spin as the new year starts with a 19 point deficit with #goingfor55 as relevant as the title challenge from Joey Barton and the other summer signings including three goal Joey Garner.
