Rangers v St Johnstone

Rangers vs St Johnstone Preview

Rangers had to make do with just a point in what was a frustrating and ultimately disappointing 1-1 draw away from home at seventh placed Dundee on Thursday night in the Scottish Premiership but Rangers now return to the home surroundings of Ibrox for this Sunday afternoon's clash against the bottom club, St Johnstone.

St Johnstone slumped to yet another defeat in the domestic top flight last weekend when they were dealt a 3-1 loss at home to Dundee, making it six losses in their last eight matches overall and further trouble could be just around the corner for the visitors on Sunday afternoon at Ibrox.

That midweek draw away at Dundee became a third stalemate in four games for Rangers and although Philippe Clement's side registered a resounding an certainly morale-boosting 3-0 victory over Old Firm rivals, Celtic, the three recent draws will be viewed as six points dropped.

Not that recent results overall have been bad where Rangers have been concerned, far from it, as The ‘Gers have suffered just one defeat in their last 11 matches in the Scottish Premiership whilst collecting six wins along the way as well.

Rangers also still remain unbeaten at home so far in this season's Premiership campaign, picking up nine wins and a draw within their 10 matches played to date along with keeping no fewer than an impressive seven clean sheets as well.

St Johnstone's woes continue to worsen in the Scottish top flight as the hosts find themselves sitting rock-bottom of the Premiership table and now eight points adrift of second from bottom club Hearts and safety ahead of this tough looking trip to Ibrox on Sunday.

A 3-1 loss at home to Dundee last weekend made it six defeats in eight games for the hapless visitors and Simo Valakari's side are not given a prayer when they make their way to Glasgow to take on high-flying Rangers who have yet to taste defeat on home soil in the league.

In what has already been a long, hard slog for St Johnstone, the visitors have managed to earn just four wins within their total of 22 matches played to date and having also slipped to 15 defeats so far this season, there appears to be little hope for St Johnstone on Sunday.

To make matters worse, The Saints have managed to muster just the single win in their previous 10 outings on the road in the Premiership, whilst also being on the receiving end of seven defeats as well as failing to score in four of these 10 away games.

Rangers v St Johnstone Verdict
