Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Hearts, Rangers will be aiming to retain top position in the standings when they take on St. Mirren at The SMISA Stadium. The Gers are determined to defend their trophy, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to meet the goal. All Ryan Kent, Ryan Jack, Nnamdi Ofoborh, and Filip Helander remain in the recovery room, but Steven Gerrard has no fresh injury worries ahead of the trip to Paisley.
The Saints, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, and given their attacking potential, we believe that over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. Forward Greg Kiltie misses the Rangers game with a knee injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team. In their last meeting in the Premier League Rangers defeated St. Mirren 3-0.
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.
