St Mirren enjoy home advantage for their second meeting with Rangers this season, but the locals lost at Ibrox in October and arrive following a mixed bag of results. Will St Mirren cause an upset and win to keep the points in Paisley?

Rangers make the short journey from Govan boasting solid stats. They drew 1-1 with Tottenham in the Europa League, pushed Celtic all the way to penalties in the League Cup final at Hampden, and have won their last four in the Premiership. The Gers are betting favourites to deliver fans another win, and you can gamble now at Betfred. Will Rangers do the double over St Mirren?

St Mirren vs Rangers Odds

St Mirren may have the backing of the home support in Renfrewshire and set-up on the back of two wins, but Stephen Robinson’s men are underdogs in the betting. The locals are in the top six following wins over St Johnstone and Ross County on the road, scoring five goals in the process. Fancy a third win back at home? You can support St Mirren at an attractive 15/2 on the Betfred app and website.

Rangers got the rewards for their winning form by passing Aberdeen into second place and narrowing Celtic’s lead to nine points following a weekend win over Dundee at Ibrox. Fans favourite Vaclav Cerny rounded the keeper early in the second half to score the only goal of the game. Rangers have now won four Premiership games on the bounce, and that number will grow to five in midweek. You can take the away win at 2/5 or try the draw at 18/5.

Both score and Rangers win

Games involving St Mirren and Rangers are often tight, especially in Paisley, and I expect another competitive contest with a few goals and even more talking points. The Gers won 2-1 at Ibrox two months ago thanks to goals from Mohamed Diomande and Vaclav Cerny, who scored either side of a strike from Saints Alex Gogic.

With another entertaining match expected, we follow the stats and back both teams to score in a Rangers win at odds of 21/10. That’s good enough to follow as a single or add to your Boxing Day multiples. The same bet would’ve landed you a profit in each of the last two meetings, including a hard-fought win for Rangers here back in April.

St Mirren 1-2 Rangers

With a strong bet at nice odds already working in our corner, we aim to keep the festive cheer flowing with a wager at a higher price, and it’s another supported by the stats. Back St Mirren 1-2 Rangers in the correct score market and Betfred and enjoy odds of 7/1. That’ll add a little extra sparkle to your evening.

A bet on Rangers to beat St Mirren by a 2-1 scoreline would’ve landed you a profit when the teams met at Ibrox earlier this season. It was also the right approach in each of the last two renewals of this fixture. Philippe Clement’s team have scored exactly two goals against the Saints in three of their last four and that’s more than enough to get our stake.
