On Sunday afternoon, Rangers travel to St Mirren as they look to aid their SPL title challenge with time running out this season.
St Mirren are hoping to end a torrid runThe home team heads into this clash on the back of a torrid recent run of SPL form.
Stephen Robinson’s team has now failed to win in their last four matches in the Scottish top-flight, following a 3-0 defeat against Rangers’ bitter rivals Celtic last time out. The loss also means they have lost three of their previous four league matches.
Despite their recent poor run of form in the SPL, St Mirren are still fifth-place in the table.
The Saints have a decent home record of late, as they have won three of their last four SPL games at the SMISA Stadium. A 2-1 home defeat against Hearts in their previous home match ended a three-game winning run on home soil in the Scottish top-flight.
Rangers looking to build on FA Cup semi-final victoryLast time out, Philippe Clement’s team recorded a 2-0 win over Hearts in the FA Cup semi-final. The win ended a run of three games without a win in all competitions for the Glasgow giants.
Unfortunately for the visitors, their three-game winless run in the SPL has left them second in the table. With just five games left to play, they trail Celtic arch-rivals by three points in the title race.
A goalless draw with Dundee in their last SPL game means that the Gers have won just once in their previous five games in the Scottish top flight.
Although Rangers have failed to win in their last two away games in the SPL, they have recorded four victories in six matches on their travels in the Scottish top-flight.
What am I backing?Neither team could claim to be in great form of late in the SPL. However, Ranger's weekend win in the FA Cup should boost their confidence and be enough to see the visitors edge this encounter.
