Rangers prepare to entertain St. Mirren at Ibrox Stadium on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having taken all the points from 85 of the 115 contests.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ibrox Stadium was less than a year ago, in January 2008, as they swept to an impressive 4-0 win in a Scottish Premier match.
