Rangers come into this match with a strong home record, having secured victories in their last two home games.

However, they will need to be wary of St Mirren's resilience, as shown in their recent draws against tough opponents.

St Mirren have been solid at the back, managing to keep a clean sheet in their last three games. Their ability to grind out results could pose a challenge for Rangers, but their away form has not been convincing. This match could be closely contested, with Rangers' home advantage potentially tipping the scales.
