Preview: Rangers vs. St Mirren - prediction, team news, lineups

Rangers will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership when they host St Mirren on Tuesday night.

The Gers are currently three points clear of Celtic, who have a game in hand, but a win at Ibrox would move them six points clear with just five games remaining.

St Mirren, meanwhile, are seventh in the table and will be looking to finish the season on a high after a disappointing campaign.

Team news

Rangers will be without Alfredo Morelos, who is suspended after being sent off in the win over Dundee United last weekend.

Ryan Kent and Scott Arfield are also doubts, while Kemar Roofe is a long-term absentee.

St Mirren have no fresh injury concerns, but they will be without long-term absentees Greg Tansey and Ethan Erhahon.

Predicted lineups

Rangers: McGregor; Tavernier, Goldson, Balogun, Barisic; Kamara, Lundstram; Wright, Aribo, Kent; Sakala

St Mirren: Alnwick; Fraser, McCarthy, Shaughnessy, Tanser; McGrath, Power, Erhahon; Durrand, Main, Ayunga

Prediction

Rangers are the clear favorites for this match, and they should be able to win comfortably.

The Gers have been in excellent form all season, and they will be confident of extending their lead at the top of the table.

St Mirren have nothing to play for and they are likely to be content to sit back and defend.

However, Rangers should have too much quality for the Buddies, and they should be able to win by a comfortable margin.
