Simo Valakari’s work permit was still not in order on Sunday in Scotland.
In the match of the Scottish league round played late on Sunday night between Rangers and St. Johnstone, the home team took a 2-0 victory over the Czech side Vaclav Cerny with two goals.
He had to make his debut as the head coach of the visitors Simo Valakaribut his work permit was not yet in order, so the towing responsibility was still with the temporary pilot With Andy Kirk. Valakari watched the losing game from the stands of Ibrox.
In the match, Rangers won the scoring attempts 21–9, shots on goal 6–2 and corner kicks 7–3.
Valakari, who last week signed a coaching contract with St. Johnstone until 2027, will therefore be the Ross County home game on October 19 after the international break.
St. Johnstone recently gave the go-ahead to their previous head coach To Craig Levein because of poor success. The crisis team has lost five of its last six matches and won one of eight league games in total.
