Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-2
Rangers
Following a 2-2 draw with Motherwell, Rangers will look to put a pressure on league leaders Celtic when they face St Johnstone on Wednesday. The Gers failed to win the previous four games in all competitions, and, no doubt, they are desperate to get back on course. Alfredo Morelos, who produced a fine display in the last league match, will be the man to watch in the away side, while Ianis Hagi remains in the recovery room.
Pacey winger Fashion Sakala should keep his place in the starting XI after finding the net in the draw with the Well. The Saints, on the other hand, will be without Shaun Rooney, David Wotherspoon, Chris Kane, Craig Bryson, and Cameron MacPherson in the midweek clash. Anyhow, away win should be considered as Rangers are eager to melt Celtic’s advantage in the Scotland Premier League standings.

Highlighted Team (Rangers):
Glasgow Rangers are one of the two synonyms for Scottish Football. Glasgow Rangers were founded back in 1872 and they have been playing an important role in the Scottish top flight ever since. The Gers won their 54th Scottish Premier League title in the 2010/2011 season, but winning of European Cup Winners’ Cup trophy in 1972 is considered the club’s biggest success.
Glasgow Rangers defeated Dynamo Moscow in the final of the competition, with the likes of Stein and Johnston (two goals) scoring for the Scottish side. Celtic are considered the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks when the two teams meet in the Old Firm derby. The likes of Paul Gascoigne, David Weir, Stefan Klos, Chris Boyd, Ian Durrant and Kenny Miller are some of Rangers’ former notable players.
It has to be noted that the Gers welcome their rivals at Ibrox Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 50,817. Rangers’ support is largely drawn from the Protestant Unionist community.
