Rangers vs St Mirren Match Summary
Competition | Scottish Premiership |
|---|---|
Match Date | Wednesday 9 September 2026 |
Match Time | 19:45 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Glasgow, Ibrox Stadium |
Rangers host St Mirren at Ibrox on Wednesday night with both sides level on 10 points, a Scottish Premiership fixture that pits fourth against third on goal difference alone.
The Gers head into this match chasing a fourth straight league win, having seen off Aberdeen, Falkirk and Motherwell to steady the ship after a bumpy start.
St Mirren arrive full of belief, sitting a place above their hosts after winning both of their opening away matches in the Scottish Premiership this term.
The pair already crossed swords this season, Rangers thumping the Buddies 5-1 at Ibrox to dump them out of the Premier Sports Cup last month, so there is a revenge edge to this one.
Rangers vs St Mirren Form
Rangers have found their feet, winning their last three Premiership games, each by a single-goal margin, including a narrow win over Motherwell at Ibrox. They are firing plenty at goal too, racking up 16 or more shots in five of their last five league outings. Djeidi Gassama has attempted 2+ shots in five straight, so the threat is obvious.
St Mirren made a superb start before Celtic ended their unbeaten league run at the weekend, edging the Buddies 2-1 in Paisley. Craig McLeish's stubborn, direct side won both of their away Premiership matches this season and lean heavily on Nikolas Agrafiotis up top and the industry of Ryan Carr in the engine room.

Rangers vs St Mirren Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: The numbers point firmly towards the hosts, who are heavy favourites at 7/20 with Ladbrokes and unbeaten in their last three league games. St Mirren are a threat on the counter, but the home record here is emphatic and we make it a comfortable Rangers night. Our prediction is a 2-1 home win.
Best Bets
Djeidi Gassama to have over 1.5 shots on target. With Rangers heavily favoured at Ibrox and projected for the bulk of the goals, Gassama is a natural outlet from the left. He has attempted 2+ shots in five consecutive Premiership outings, and with the Gers pushing for a fourth straight league win, he should be a constant presence on goal.
Nicolas Raskin to have over 2.5 shots. Rangers thrive on sustained final-third pressure and heavy shot volume, and Raskin is right in the thick of it from the engine room. There have been 28+ shots taken in each of Rangers' last five Premiership outings, which creates plenty of opportunity for a midfielder who drives forward with purpose.
Rangers vs St Mirren Bet Builder
Our four-leg bet builder backs Djeidi Gassama over 2.5 shots, Ryan Carr to be carded, over 13.5 total corners and Nicolas Raskin over 0.5 assists in a lively Ibrox contest.
Gassama has attempted 3+ shots in each of his last three Premiership appearances, so with Rangers dominating possession he should keep peppering the St Mirren goal.
Ryan Carr has been carded in three of his last five Premiership outings, and a combative midfielder facing this much pressure is a fair bet to pick one up again.
Both sides carry plenty of attacking width, and with Rangers taking a lot of shots the corner count should climb, making over 13.5 total corners a sensible leg.
Raskin has assisted in three of his last four appearances against St Mirren in the Premiership, so the creative midfielder teeing up a goal completes the set.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 50/1 and is as short as 50/1 elsewhere.

Rangers vs St Mirren Talking Points
This is a genuine top-four clash, with third-placed St Mirren visiting fourth-placed Rangers on level points, yet the recent history is one-sided in the hosts' favour. Rangers have won 16 of their last 17 home meetings with the Buddies across all competitions and blew them away 5-1 in the Premier Sports Cup last month. St Mirren will fancy their creative threat on the break given they won both away games this season, but Rangers' relentless shot volume, having had 16+ shots in five of their last five league games, should tell at Ibrox. The Gers are firmly favoured and it is easy to see why.
