Prediction: 3-1
St Johnstone
After surviving Hibernian at Ibrox, Rangers will be aiming to melt Celtic’s advantage in the Premiership standings when they face St Johnstone in yet another home fixture. The Gers are already five points behind the Hoops in the Premier League table, meaning that Sunday’s clash is of big importance for them. All Danilo, Yilmaz, and Matondo continue to miss out through injuries, while this game comes too early for midfielder Oscar Cortes.
The Saints, on the other hand, have been struggling on the road this term and given their six-game losing run in Glasgow in the national championship, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. You should bear in mind that Rangers defeated St Johnstone 2-0 in their last meeting at Ibrox Stadium. Both Uche Ikpeazu and Sam McClelland are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
