St Mirren will face Rangers at St Mirren Park on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Scottish Premiership campaign.
The home side have struggled for results in the Premiership of late after a very bright start to the season but continue their push for continental football. They were beaten 3-0 by defending champions Celtic in their last league outing before returning to winning ways with a narrow 1-0 victory over third-tier Queen of the South in the Scottish Cup last weekend.
St Mirren sit fifth in the league table with 29 points from 22 matches. They are 10 points behind their weekend opponents in second place and will be looking to reduce that gap with a win on Saturday.
Rangers, meanwhile, are enjoying a good run of form at the moment and remain in contention for the Premiership title. They beat Hibernian 3-0 last time out with Ridvan Yilmaz and Todd Cantwell getting on the scoresheet in the first half before Nigeria international Cyriel Dessers came off the bench to wrap up the points.
