The match at McDiarmid Park started with high hopes but quickly turned into a defensive stalemate, with both sides struggling to find their rhythm.

Despite the lack of goals, the atmosphere was electric as fans from both sides cheered for their teams, creating an experience that went beyond just the scoreline. The Rangers stadium buzzed with the spirit of competition, and while the game may not have been a spectacle of scoring, it was certainly a triumph of strategy and will.
