St Johnstone vs Rangers betting tips: Scottish Premiership preview, predictions and odds

Match preview

In truth, Rangers are thankful that their Champions League return is over.

On Tuesday night, the Gers concluded their group stage campaign with a 3-1 home defeat against Ajax.

James Tavernier’s late penalty scant consolation.

This result ensures the Light Blues have posted the worst-ever Champions League group phase campaign: zero points and a goal difference of -20.

Now, with only domestic matters to focus on, Giovanni van Bronckhorst is fighting to save his job.

Last weekend, his team came from a goal down to hammer Aberdeen 4-1 at Ibrox.

Antonio Čolak, John Lundstram, Tavernier and Alfredo Morelos the scorers.

With three games to go until the World Cup break, Rangers remain four points behind Celtic, and cannot allow that gap to grow any further.

St Johnstone meanwhile are enjoying the seven point deficit between themselves and the relegation zone.

This increased significantly last weekend, with the Saints beating Kilmarnock; an own goal making the difference.

That’s now back-to-back victories for Callum Davidson’s side, who spoiled Hibernian’s party at Easter Road the week before.

Now, can St Johnstone beat Rangers at McDiarmid Park for the first time in 12 years?
