Rangers could do enough to become Scottish Premier League champions on Saturday when they host St. Mirren at Ibrox.

Steven Gerrard's men currently have 85 points from 31 games, and have an 18-point lead over Celtic at the moment.

If they win this game, and Celtic fail to beat Dundee United away on Sunday, Rangers will be crowned champions of Scotland.

In their last game, Rangers showed their reserves of spirit and intensity as they beat Livingston 1-0. They had to wait until the 87th minute for the only goal of that game.

Alfredo Morelos eventually popped up with the winner to send the Rangers bench into a frenzy on what felt like a landmark day for the club.

St. Mirren are the only side to beat Rangers in a competitive game of football this season. That win came in the Scottish League Cup in a game where Rangers were far from their best.

St. Mirren are unbeaten in their last five Scottish league games, but their win against Ross County in their last game was their first in those five games.

They are currently sixth in the league, with 39 points from 31 games, which is 46 points behind Rangers.


Rangers vs St. Mirren Head-to-Head

St. Mirren have beaten Rangers once this season, but Gerrard's side did beat them in the league after that. Rangers won 2-0 in December, in the last game between these two sides.

Kemar Roofe and Alfredo Morelos scored in the first half to secure victory for Rangers.
