St. Mirren and Rangers battle for three points in a Scottish Premiership Championship group fixture on Sunday (April 28).
The hosts are coming off a 3-0 defeat at Celtic a fortnight ago. All three goals came after the break, with Reo Hatate, Kyogo Furuhashi and Adam Idah scoring for the Hoops.
Rangers, meanwhile, claimed a 2-0 victory over Hearts in the semifinal of the Scottish Cup. Nigeria international Cyriel Dessers was the star of the show, as he scored a brace to help his side set up an Old Firm derby in the final against arch-rivals Celtic next month.
The Gers turn their focus back to the league scene, where their last game was a goalless draw at Dundee FC. The stalemate saw them come into the Championship group, having garnered 75 points from 33 games. St. Mirren are fifth with 43 points.
St. Mirren vs Rangers Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Rangers have 41 wins and and three losses from their last 49 head-to-head games with St. Mirren.
- Their most recent clash in January saw Rangers claim a 1-0 away win.
- Four of St. Mirren's last five games have had more goals scored in the second half than the first.
- Rangers have won the last five head-to-head games.
- Five of St. Mirren's last six games have had goals at both ends.
- Rangers have the best defensive away record in the league, with eight goals conceded in 16 games.

St. Mirren vs Rangers Prediction
St. Mirren are winless in four league games, and chances of ending that run against a side they have not won in any of the last 12 attempts appear slim.
Rangers, meanwhile, were in pole position to wrest the league crown from Celtic a few weeks ago. However, a run of just one win from their last five league games, including two losses, has handed the initiative back to their city rivals.
Expect Philippe Clement's side to claim maximum points with a comfortable victory and goals at both ends.
Prediction: St. Mirren 1-3 Rangers
