Rangers welcome St. Mirren to the Ibrox for a Scottish Premiership matchday nine clash on Sunday. The hosts will look to build on their comfortable 4-0 trouncing handed to FCSB at the same venue in the UEFA Europa League in midweek.
Tom Lawrence broke the deadlock in the 10th minute, while Vaclav Cherny scored a brace to put his side 3-0 up 10 minutes into the second half. Hamza Igamane completed the rout in the 71st minute.
Philippe Clement's side now turn their focus to the domestic scene, where their last league game was a 1-0 defeat at Kilmarnock.
St. Mirren, meanwhile, fell to a 4-0 defeat at Hearts last weekend. Kenneth Vargas, Daniel Oyegoke, James Wilson and Blair Spittal scored to inspire their side to all three points.
