Rangers, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-1 home win over Dundee in their last league game, Rangers will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. In that game they had 55% possession and managed 20 attempts on goal, with 9 on target, compared to Dundee who had 9 attempts and 3 on target.
Philippe Clement will be more than satisfied with his side's form of late, having recorded 14 goals in their last 6 encounters and only conceded 2 goals in that time. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 12 games in a row, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 matches.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 9 games in a row.
When home matches come round at Ibrox Stadium, Abdallah Sima will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 6 goals in Rangers' last 6 home league matches.
St Johnstone, Recent FormSt Johnstone will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Hibernian. They achieved 39% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Hibernian's tally of 3 efforts at goal, 0 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 5 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 8 games.
Nicky Clark will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for St Johnstone.
The 0-2 victory which Rangers recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
It's been a very long time since The Saints came to Ibrox Stadium in the league and scored a goal, having left goalless in their last 6 visits. Rangers will be confident of finding the net in this one against The Saints, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 13 encounters between the two sides. St Johnstone have struggled to break down The Gers defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
In the league, Rangers has an strong track record when they play host to St Johnstone, notchng up a win in their last 5 home games.
Rangers manager Philippe Clement has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Steven Davis (Cruciate ligament), Ryan Jack (Unknown), Tom Lawrence (Muscle), Danilo Pereira da Silva (Knee) and Nicolas Raskin (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Craig Levein has a number of injury concerns in his St Johnstone squad to contend with: Nicky Clark (Calf), Ali Crawford (Calf) and Drey Wright (Knee)
