Rangers vs St Johnstone Predictions

• Rangers have won four of heir last five league games
• St Johnstone are on a run of five defeats in six, failing to score in four of those losses
• The hosts have kept clean sheets in six of their last eight fixtures

Rangers looking to bounce back

It was a miserable night in Europe for Rangers on Thursday, as they were beaten 4-1 by Lyon in France.

That ended a run of four successive victories for Philippe Clement’s side, who have seen three of those wins accompanied by a clean sheet.

Indeed, they have only conceded once in three league outings at Ibrox this season, while they have already beaten opponents for this match St Johnstone’s 2-0 in the cup in 2024/25.

Saints in dire trouble

That does not bode well for the visitors, who are looking to bounce back from a 6-0 mauling at the hands of Celtic in their last match.

As such, there is work to do for new manager Simo Valakari, who is taking charge of a Scottish club for the first time, although did spend time in the country as a player for Motherwell.

His to do list is a long one, but getting the Saints scoring is important, as they have failed to net in four of their last six games.

They are also on a run of five defeats from their last half a dozen outings, form it is hard to see them turning round here.

I predict that Rangers will win to nil, selecting 2-0 as a correct score prediction.
