Rangers cruised to a four-goal victory over St Johnstone to return to the top of the Scottish Premiership.
Malik Tillman, Antonio Colak, Scott Arfield and Tom Lawrence were all on target for the home side, as they built on the momentum from the midweek European win against Union Saint-Gilloise.
Tillman gave the patient home side the lead in the 32nd minute with a close-range header that rattled in off the crossbar after a beautifully floated ball over to the back post from skipper James Tavernier.
Early in the second half, Matondo, playing off the left, cracked the woodwork with a drive from the edge of the box and Barisic cleared the bar by inches with a free-kick from a similar distance.
Saints continued to make life difficult for the Light Blues until Croatian striker Colak, who had netted in previous games against Union Saint-Gilloise and Kilmarnock, drove in a second from 10 yards in the 62nd minute.
When Saints lost a second, it was their own fault. A hesitant Drey Wright was robbed by Matondo inside the penalty area and the ball fell to Colak who swiftly turned and drove the ball low past Matthews.
Colak then made way for Alfredo Morelos in a triple substitution that also saw Scott Wright and Tillman replaced by Arfield and Lawrence.
The points were secured and it was a case of Rangers trying to add to their tally, which Arfield did with 10 minutes remaining when he converted a Matondo cutback from 12 yards.
Three minutes later Arfield set up Lawrence for his first Rangers goal since his move to the Ibrox and after a comprehensive domestic display, boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst returns his focus back to Europe and PSV.
Ben Davies made his Rangers debut in the game, coming off late in the second half after the three points were secured. Rangers went top, but Celtic returned to the summit after being Kilmarnock 5-0 on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.
Van Bronckhorst: I'm really pleased
Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst:
"The most pleasing thing was the three points, that's always the most important thing. After that, we scored four goals, we kept a clean sheet and we could rest and rotate players.
"I'm really pleased with the overall performance. We wanted to make sure we got the three points after Tuesday, and we did that. I'm pleased I was able to pick a team that was able to win today."
