Abdallah Sima fired Rangers to a routine 2-0 win over St Mirren as they bounced back from European disappointment to remain eight points behind Celtic.
Philippe Clement made his feelings clear about Thursday's draw with Limassol by making five changes to the starting XI. Todd Cantwell survived despite being hooked early against Aris and started alongside Ross McCausland, who replaced him during the week.
James Tavernier was the early threat down the right and a signature whipped cross from the skipper nearly yielded the opening goal.
He picked out Sima who rose well to meet it midway through the first half but his header fizzed just over Zach Hemming's crossbar.
