Rangers will be facing St Johnstone on Sunday evening at Ibrox, Glasgow. The match is set to kick off at 8pm UK time, with the unusual timing due to The Great Scottish Run happening throughout the day in Glasgow.
The home team, Rangers, will be looking to continue their winning streak in the league as they aim to close the gap on Celtic, who are currently leading by five points. St Johnstone, on the other hand, will be hoping to bounce back from their 6-0 defeat to Celtic last weekend.
With a new manager in place for St Johnstone, Philippe Clement has expressed uncertainty about what to expect from the visitors. The match will be broadcast live on television by Premier Sports on their Premier Sports 1 channel, with coverage starting at 7:30pm and ending at 10:30pm. Additionally, the game can be live-streamed on the Premier Player platform.
In terms of team news, Clement may make changes to the squad following their recent European match against Lyon. Players like Hamza Igamane could be brought in to strengthen the team. Rangers will still be without key players like Danilo, Oscar Cortes, Rabbi Matondo, and Ridvan Yilmaz due to various injury concerns. There is also a question mark over Tom Lawrence’s fitness after being substituted in the previous game.
St Johnstone, on the other hand, will have to navigate this match without Uche Ikpeazu and Sam McClelland available for selection. It will be interesting to see how both teams perform in this fixture, especially with the added element of uncertainty surrounding St Johnstone’s new manager.
