A gap to close
ST Mirren’s recent form has been tough, with a win, a draw and three defeats in their last five league matches. They have scored four goals and conceded 11 in that spell. Rangers, by contrast, are unbeaten in nine league games and sit second in the Premiership, six places and ten points above eighth-placed ST Mirren, having played one fewer match.
Contrasting momentum
Rangers have recorded three wins and two draws across their last five league outings, scoring 12 and conceding five. Their most recent league match ended in a draw. ST Mirren’s latest league game was a defeat, and they have conceded 20 goals across 12 league matches.
Rangers have also been difficult to beat away from home: they have three wins and three draws in six league trips, with nine goals scored and six conceded. ST Mirren’s six home league matches have brought two wins, two draws and two defeats.
Rangers have had the upper hand
The recent head-to-head record is the central challenge for the hosts. Rangers are unbeaten in the last five meetings, winning four and drawing one; ST Mirren have not won any of them. The most recent encounter, in September, finished 1-0 to Rangers in the Premiership.
Three of those five meetings produced two goals or fewer, suggesting the hosts may need patience to break down their opponents. But Rangers’ record in the fixture gives them a clear psychological edge as they return to Paisley.
The key attacking threat
Rangers’ recent scoring form stands out: they have found the net 12 times in their last five league matches, compared with ST Mirren’s four. Across the league campaign, Rangers have scored 19 goals in 11 matches, while ST Mirren have scored 12 in 12.
Rangers have also kept five clean sheets in the league, compared with three for ST Mirren. That defensive record, combined with their unbeaten away league run, could make it difficult for the hosts to turn home advantage into a result.
Our prediction
ST Mirren’s home record offers some resistance, but Rangers bring stronger recent form, a more productive attack and an unbeaten sequence in this fixture. Those factors point towards a narrow away win, with Rangers’ defensive record helping them protect the advantage.
ST Mirren 0-1 Rangers
