There were many pundits that were adamant that Rangers midfielder Steven Davis failed to clear the ball before it crossed the line against St Johnstone on Sunday.
The Gers went up the other end and scored a crucial third through Jermain Defoe, leading to a big debate about the incident. Rangers’ official Twitter account yesterday shared a clip of a different angle of the clearance:

Fans on Twitter said the angle proved that the goal was rightly ruled out, while others were praising Rangers’ Twitter feed for putting the clip out there:
Great content.

The more you watch it, the more impressive it actually was. Well done Davo.

Without goal-line technology, these debates will happen but that doesn’t detract from the excellent performance of the team, and Steven Davis, in particular.
The Northern Irishman had an excellent game at McDiarmid Park and supporters will be hoping he keeps up this form going forward.
