Rangers will look to carry some momentum from their thrashing of FCSB into facing St Mirren today.

The Gers have the home comforts of Ibrox again and will be expected to make it two from two to bounce back from the disappointments of Kilmarnock away last weekend.

The Buddies are usually stern opposition but haven’t been in great for and were slammed by manager Stephen Robinson for their performance against Hearts last weekend.

Nevertheless, Rangers have been told they are under ‘mega’ pressure for this one and the following trip to take on in-form Aberdeen on Wednesday.

With the games coming thick and fast, it is always interesting to see what Philippe Clement will do and how heavily he will rotate.

We now know how far he has gone today as the manager has named his team to face St Mirren.
