Prediction: 1-2
Rangers
Rangers will look to make amends for a heart-breaking loss to Celtic in the Old Firm derby when they face St. Mirren at the SMISA Stadium. The Gers are now six points behind their bitter city rivals, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s troops. In Alfredo Morelos’ absence, a man to watch in the away team will be fit-again midfielder Aaron Ramsey, who scored the opener in the Premiership derby at the weekend.
The Saints, on the other hand, suffered yet another dip in form, with the team losing to both Dundee United (1-2) and Motherwell (2-4) in the previous two league fixtures. Since St. Mirren have been struggling at the back of late, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the title-chasing visitors. Midfielder Matthew Millar should miss out with injury for the home team.
Highlighted Player (Marcus Fraser):
Marcus Fraser is a Scottish footballer who plays for Ross County as a defender. Fraser is a product of Celtic football school, but he made no more than one appearance for the Hoops in the Scottish Premier League. He played his only game for the Scottish giants in a 3-1 win at Inverness on February 9, 2013.
After ending his loan spell with Cowdenbeath, Marcus Fraser signed a deal with Ross County in 2015. Over the years, the defender has established himself as a first-team regular with the Staggies, making 26 appearances in the Scottish top flight last term.
Speaking of his international career, Fraser has five caps for the Scotland U21 team, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the senior team. His main position on the field is a right-back, but he is capable of producing good performances as a centre-back as well. Marcus Fraser was born in Bishopbriggs, Scotland, on June 23, 1994.
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.
