Rangers need a response
The Gers come into the Premiership 2026-2027's second game of the season sat 9th and with 1 point on the board after a 0-1 home defeat to League One Dunfermline in League Cup Group C 2026. They've now failed to take all three points in 1 home game so far and scored just 1 goal, so Ibrox hasn't been a fortress for The Gers in the new season. Their most recent game, however, was a 1-2 home loss to Hibernian in the 2026/2027 season opener and they followed that up with a 1-1 draw against Jagiellonia Bialystok in their UEFA Europa League qualifier. Derek McInnes has set Rangers up in a compact, pragmatic system with a smart pressing scheme that allows the ball-side winger to press the opposition ball-near midfield and creates vertical transitions. Thelo Aasgaard has led the way in the 2026-2027 with 1 goal in 2 games, but Lawrence Shankland has looked the sharpest with 2 in the last 5 games.
A test for the Buddies
St Mirren are currently 2nd on the table with 6 points from 2 games and will fancy their chances against the slumping Rangers on Saturday. Craig McLeish has built the Buddies on the back of a three-at-the-back structure, width from the wing-backs and the ability to dictate waves of pressing and counter attacking football. Killian Phillips has been their biggest threat with 3 goals in 2 games so far, but Henry Fieldson has added some spark with 1 assist in 1 game.
Gers to be put to the test
Rangers are the 2/5 favourites here, whilst St Mirren are 28/5 and the draw is 77/20, which are all fair odds, however the value in the match result market lies with the visitors given their form. The game has a feeling of a fixture about it, however St Mirren have looked sharp away from home and should be able to keep this one tight.
The clash of Rangers' mid-block discipline against St Mirren's wide transition game should make this an arm wrestle. Over 2.5 goals at 57/100 looks a good fit here given Rangers should be chasing the game and St Mirren have been very good on their travels so far.
