Rangers will be hoping to move closer to the top of the Scottish Premiership table when they travel to McDiarmid Park to face St Johnstoneon Saturday.
After failing to reach the Champions League group stage, Rangers will be focusing on getting their league campaign back on track. They are heading into this fixture on the back of a 1-0 defeat at the hands of defending champions Celtic but an away trip to St Johnstone should be much easier to handle.
St Johnstone will be desperate for points. They are winless in their last six games and any result other than a defeat will be considered a big achievement for the home team.
