St. Mirren vs Rangers Prediction
Having suffered consecutive losses, Rangers will be eager to bounce back to winning ways to keep their title defence on track.
St Mirren's poor run of form means they don't stand much chance of success. However, their recently improved attack means they might fashion enough chances to find the back of the net. Nevertheless, the capital team should secure a comfortable victory, with goals at both ends.
Prediction: St. Mirren 1-3 Rangers.
