St Mirren vs Rangers kicks off on Saturday night in Paisley before the international break, pitting a Scottish Premiership side short of form against the division's in-form team.
St Mirren sit eighth under Craig McLeish. Last weekend's narrow loss at Motherwell made it four straight league defeats on the road, and the Buddies look short of answers.
Rangers sit second under Derek McInnes, with a game in hand on leaders Celtic. They arrive unbeaten in nine league matches and plainly carry the better form.
Rangers have won their last four matches against St Mirren in all competitions. That is the sort of record that makes Saturday a test of St Mirren's nerve as much as their ability.
St Mirren vs Rangers Form
St Mirren have won 2 of their last 10 matches against all opponents, and a home draw with Hibernian preceded the narrow defeat at Fir Park. Their best work comes down the flanks, with Calvin Ramsay a fixture at right wing-back, but finishing remains a weakness and lone striker Eseosa Sule needs far better service.
Rangers are unbeaten in 11 in all competitions. Ryan Naderi struck late to edge Aberdeen at Hampden and book a Scottish League Cup final against Hibernian, while Olwethu Makhanya's late header rescued a draw at Tynecastle in the league. Shot volume is the real weapon, and the St Mirren defence should brace for long spells under siege.

St Mirren
The St Mirren vs Rangers lineups should look familiar on the home side. Craig McLeish brought Luke Thomas in for Declan John at left wing-back last time, with Paul Nsio and Killian Phillips supporting Eseosa Sule in attack. Five players are doubts, which leaves McLeish with a thin bench.
Rangers
Youssef Chermiti and Lawrence Shankland are both injured, and Kevin Kelsy led the line in the win over Aberdeen. Djeidi Gassama dropped out that night as Kim Min-Su and Badredine Bouanani took the wide berths, while Nicolas Raskin partnered James Penrice in the engine room.

St Mirren vs Rangers Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Rangers to win, and comfortably. This St Mirren vs Rangers prediction rests on the gulf in quality and form, with the visitors 2/5 (10Bet) to take the points. The projections have Rangers carrying most of the goal threat in a game totalling around 3.15 goals, so St Mirren may nick one but little more.
Best Bets
Over 2.5 Total Goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. Rangers have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 4 league games, and the model projects about 3.15 goals. There have been over 2.5 goals in each of Rangers' last 4 Scottish Premiership games, and their attack can do most of the heavy lifting here. St Mirren's frailty when defending set pieces only strengthens the first of our St Mirren vs Rangers best bets.
Nicolas Raskin Over 1.5 Shots in the Player Shots market. He is a near-certain starter in Rangers' midfield, and Rangers are favoured to dominate the match. Raskin has been an ever-present in recent Rangers line-ups, and this is a side that likes to control games in the opposition half and take a lot of shots. Two efforts from the base of midfield is a modest ask in that sort of fixture.
St Mirren vs Rangers Bet Builder
Our St Mirren vs Rangers bet builder tips lean entirely on the Rangers attack, with Ryan Naderi, Kevin Kelsy and Djeidi Gassama all involved alongside Rangers goals.
Ryan Naderi Over 0.5 Shots On Target. Working centrally behind the striker, he has tested the goalkeeper at least once in 7 of his last 7 Scottish Premiership appearances.
Kevin Kelsy Anytime Goalscorer. Kelsy has found the net in 3 of the last 4 league games he has featured in this term in the Scottish Premiership, and he led the line last time out.
Djeidi Gassama Over 2.5 Shots. Six of Gassama's last 9 Scottish Premiership outings have brought 3+ shots. He dropped out of the side last time, though, so this leg needs him to get minutes.
Rangers Over 1.5 Total Away Goals. Rangers have had 16+ shots in 8 of their last 10 Scottish Premiership matches, and that sort of volume rarely leaves them short of goals.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 16/5 and is as short as 15/8 elsewhere.

St Mirren vs Rangers Talking Points
Before kick-off, both clubs will mark Remembrance with a piper leading the teams out, a wreath in the centre circle and a minute's silence. After that, it is about whether St Mirren can stay stubborn long enough to make this messy. Rangers lead the previous meetings by four wins to nil, with two draws. The Buddies' best route is direct, attacking down the left and having a go from distance, but they are weak in the air against a Rangers side who win plenty of aerial duels. The St Mirren vs Rangers betting odds reflect all of that, with a home win at 15/2 (AK Bets) carrying a slim implied probability.
