St. Mirren defender Alexander Gogic sparked intrigue on Boxing Day by tagging tech mogul Elon Musk in a cheeky post following his team’s dramatic 2-1 victory over Rangers. Gogic’s comment came after Caolan Boyd-Munce sealed the win with a breathtaking stoppage-time strike at St. Mirren Park.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Gogic reacted to Premier Sports’ clip of the goal, humorously comparing Boyd-Munce’s effort to a rocket. He tagged Musk, saying, “One of your rockets is in Paisley,” alluding to the audacious strike that stunned Philippe Clement’s side and left the Rangers faithful in disbelief.
Boyd-Munce’s remarkable first-time effort was set up by Evan Mooney’s precise layoff, following a critical error from Dujon Sterling. The goal not only handed St. Mirren a stunning victory but also sparked conversations across social media, with Gogic’s Musk-inspired jab amplifying the reach of the dramatic moment.
The global football community, including Rangers’ fans, might find themselves repeatedly encountering that unforgettable 93rd-minute goal online, reliving the disappointment over and over. The frustration for Rangers doesn’t end with Gogic’s social media antics; Clement and his team must shoulder the blame for failing to close out the match and for Sterling’s costly late mistake.
This defeat leaves Rangers trailing Celtic by a daunting 12 points in the league table, with the high-stakes Old Firm derby on January 2 looming large. Clement faces mounting pressure to reignite his squad and deliver results that can reignite hope among the Light Blues’ faithful. Boyd-Munce’s thunderbolt might be the shot heard around Paisley, but Rangers will be looking to make their own explosive statement in the weeks ahead.
In other news, Rangers may see changes in their lineup soon, with one defender reportedly drawing interest from a European club.
