Rangers make the short journey to St Mirren this weekend, looking to pick up their first three Scottish Premiership points of the season at the SMiSA Stadium on Sunday (kick-off: 12pm).
Russell Martin’s side have endured their worst start to a league season since 1989, and enter the game against the Buddies still smarting from their 3-1 home defeat to Club Brugge in the first leg of the Champions League playoff on Tuesday. Having drawn their first two league games against Motherwell and Dundee, they currently occupy sixth place in the division.
Their hosts, St Mirren, are also in search of their first league win of the new campaign, having followed up their narrow 1-0 opening day defeat to Celtic with a 0-0 home draw against Motherwell. Their penalty shootout victory over in-form Hearts in the Premier Sports Cup last weekend will give them renewed confidence heading into the game, though.
