Rangers vs St Mirren Scottish Premiership kick-off time has been postponed suddenly
RANGERS return to Premiership action on Sunday when they welcome St Mirren to Ibrox.
Philippe Clement’s new charges were booed off the park when they failed to defeat Aris Limassol for the second time on Thursday which cost them automatic qualification for the next round of the Europa League.
The Belgian coach remains unbeaten since his arrival in Glasgow although last week Rangers needed a controversial injury time VAR penalty to save themselves from defeat at Aberdeen.
Alarmingly for a team whose mentality has been questioned before, that’s two games in a row where they have come up short where the rewards were lucrative – a win at Aberdeen last week would have really put the pressure on a Celtic team who had drawn against Motherwell.
And they were surprisingly exposed at the back in both games and Saints will hope to try and exploit that.
However, after an outstanding start to the season where third place and European spot were seen as a realistic target, the wheels have come off somewhat.
Stephen Robinson’s side’s problems all seem to be when they are on their travels outside Paisley. Their midweek defeat at Ross County followed up a 4-0 trouncing at Dundee in their last game away from home and it’s a worrying trend.
They’ve won just two games since September and both of them were at home.
How the bookies view it
Rangers are 1/5 mostly although Coral go 2/9 on a home win.
St Mirren can be backed at 14/1 with the same firm – oddly it’s exactly the same odds as they have for Celtic to win at St Johnstone!
In fact, Rangers have now won the last three meetings between the sides by three-goal margins. St Mirren’s last win at Ibrox came in 1992.
