St. Johnstone host Rangers at McDiarmid Park on Wednesday in the Scottish Premier League on Wednesday, with both sides having contrasting seasons of late.
Rangers are currently 2nd in the league, three points behind Celtic at the top of the table. Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side are unbeaten in their last seven games across all competitions and will look to continue their form with a win against St. Johnstone on Wednesday.
St. Johnstone, on the other hand, are currently 11th in the league, two points off bottom side Dundee FC. Callum Davidson's side have only managed to win two of their last five league games and will look to turn things around with a win against Rangers on Wednesday.
This will be a massive opportunity to close the gap on Celtic with a win on Wednesday.
