St Johnstone 0-3 Rangers: Tavernier and Diomande send side top
With overnight leaders Celtic having drawn with Kilmarnock on Saturday, the visitors in Perth had the chance to open up a gap and led through Mohamed Diomande's first-half strike.
And two VAR-awarded penalties converted by visiting captain James Tavernier in the second period made sure of the points for Philippe Clement's new league leaders.
Having been seven points behind after losing to Aberdeen in September in what proved to be Michael Beale's last game in charge, the Ibrox side have erred little since under the Belgian.
However, with 12 league games to play each, the situation at the top is still very tight with Rangers having scored two fewer goals than Celtic while conceding five fewer.
Craig Levein's St Johnstone remain 10th, five points above Ross County and eight in front of Livingston.
