Rangers have started the season strongly, having won their opening two Scottish Premiership matches and are currently second on the table, three points behind Hibernian, who have played a game more.

Steven Gerrard is yet to win a trophy at Ibrox and the Liverpool legend and the Gers are desperate to break Celtic’s stranglehold on the domestic league, which the Hoops have won nine times on the trot.

A good start to the season is definitely a step in the right direction but Rangers should be wary of slipping up against less-fancied teams, which was a trait for the Scottish giants next season.

Next up for Rangers is a home against St Johnstone, who are seventh on the league table with a solitary point from one game.

So without further ado, let’s preview Rangers’ upcoming Scottish Premiership clash against St Johnstone.

Rangers: W-L-W-L-W

St Johnstone: D-W-D-L-D

Rangers won their last match in the league 3-0 against St Mirren on Sunday, while St Johnstone were held to a 1-1 draw by Dundee United in what was their first match of the season.

Rangers vs St Johnstone: Prediction

Rangers have been in good form so far, despite their Europa League defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, with the Gers showing an intent that they mean business this time around.

They have played three competitive matches since football returned in Scotland, while St Johnstone have been away from the action since their first match against Dundee United on 1st August.

As a result, Rangers will definitely have more fitness to boast about, ahead of Wednesday’s clash at Ibrox.

The Gers will be a confident unit too, having won their first two Scottish Premiership matches, and St Johnstone will be hoping that Steven Gerrard’s side are fatigue after playing three games in quick succession.

Rangers vs St Johnstone final verdict: 1-0
