Prediction: 0-2
Rangers
St. Mirren will be aiming to bounce back from back-to-back losses to Hearts and Celtic when they take on Rangers in their Championship group opener. The Saints do not enjoy playing against the Scottish powerhouse, with the team losing each of their last five encounters with the Ibrox Stadium outfit. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Gers, on the other hand, did well to beat Hearts 2-0 in the Scottish Cup semis and they are now on a quest to melt Celtic’s advantage in the Premiership standings. As Rangers have emerged triumphant in almost every meeting with St. Mirren since 2011, anything but a routine away win would be a big surprise. Abdallah Sima has joined the likes of Ridvan Yilmaz, Ryan Jack, Oscar Cortes, and Danilo Pereira in the recovery room. As a result, talented forward Ross McCausland is likely to step up.
Highlighted Player (Tom Lawrence):
Tom Lawrence is a Welsh footballer who plays as a winger for Championship side Derby County. Born in Wrexham (Wales) on January 13, 1994, Tom Lawrence played for Everton and Manchester United during his youth career.
The 180-cm-tall footballer, though, made no more than one appearances for the Red Devils in the Premier League as he was immediately sent on loan to Carlisle United. The Wales international played for the likes of Yeovil Town, Leicester City, Rotherham United, Blackburn Rovers, Cardiff City and Ipswich Town as well before signing a contract with Derby County. Tom Lawrence’s main position is left winger, but he is used as both second striker and right winger as well.
The Derby County man made his Wales debut in November 2015 in a 3-2 loss to Netherlands. The highlight of his career is the goal he scored against Georgia in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. His preferred foot is right and he wears No. 10 jersey at Derby County.
