Rangers are currently in third position in the league table with 57 points from 29 matches, trailing Hearts by six points. Meanwhile, St. Mirren sits in 10th place, having accumulated 24 points from the same number of matches. The two teams are set to meet at the SMiSA Stadium in Paisley on Sunday, 15th March at 12pm BST.
The match comes at a challenging time for St. Mirren, as manager Stephen Robinson has departed, leaving Craig McLeish as the temporary coach. This change in leadership may impact the team’s performance, especially as they have failed to win in their last five league matches.
In terms of player availability, St. Mirren is expected to be without Mikael Mandron and Marcus Fraser due to injuries. On the other hand, Rangers will be missing midfielder Mohamed Diomande, who is ruled out with a shoulder injury. This adds to Rangers’ recent struggles, as they have drawn three out of their last four league matches.
The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Football, and Sky Sports Ultra HDR, allowing fans to follow the action closely. The officiating team will be led by referee Steven McLean, with Daniel McFarlane and Frank Connor assisting him. Chris Graham will be on VAR alongside Graeme Leslie.
Rangers recently faced a setback, losing to Celtic on penalties in the Scottish Cup quarter-finals, which may add pressure as they look to secure a vital league win against St. Mirren. Observers are keen to see how both teams respond to their current situations and whether St. Mirren can turn their fortunes around under new management.
As the match approaches, fans and analysts alike are eager to see if Rangers can capitalize on St. Mirren’s difficulties or if the home team can pull off an upset. With both teams needing points for different reasons, the encounter promises to be an intriguing clash.
