St. Mirren vs Rangers prediction and betting tips on April 28, 2024
One of the matches of the 34th round of the Scottish Championship will be played on Sunday in Paisley, where local St. Mirren will host Rangers from Glasgow at the "St. Mirren Park" arena. Here's the prediction for this match from the Dailysports expert team.
St. Mirren
"The Saints" managed to break into the top six of the Premier League teams, but St. Mirren is unlikely to have high expectations in the championship group. Currently, Steven Robinson's team occupies the fifth position in the league table with 43 points. The gap from the fourth place, which gives the right to participate in the League Conference, is eight points.
However, "the Saints" have been showing dismal results overall lately. In the last round, St. Mirren played an away match against Celtic, where they lost 0-3. This defeat was the second in a row and the third in the last four rounds of the Premier League.
Rangers
"The Gers" are traditionally fighting for the top spot with Celtic. At the moment, Celtic leads Rangers by three points. It is worth acknowledging that Celtic's recent results have been noticeably better than those of their competitor. Not long ago, it was precisely the "teddy bears" who led the Premier League, but a series of three winless matches led to Celtic overtaking them.
In particular, in the last round, Rangers played an away match against Dundee FC and failed to find the keys to the opponent's goal, ending in a goalless draw 0-0. Before that, the "light blues" lost away to Ross County (2-3) and played a home draw with Celtic (3-3). As for their away statistics, Rangers lost only three matches out of sixteen, with eleven victories.
