Recent respective form guides

St. Mirren need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Buddies have scored 4, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Rangers's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. A generous 8 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

St. Mirren are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 22 points from 27 matches.

Rangers's total of 59 points from their 25 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier.
