Rangers vs St Johnstone preview
The gap to Celtic is now a huge 15 points as Rangers stuttered on the road once again.
It was the latest in a long line of flat displays, with yet another new back line with Clinton Nsiala chucked in from the start and Leon King again left watching from the bench with his Gers career seemingly over.
Falling behind to an early Dundee goal, Gers did manage to get on level terms before the break but did nowhere near enough to win the game, leading to a furious reaction from the stands towards the flops and manager, who is back on thin ice after recent derby triumph.
Their remaining away games are as follows; Dundee United, Hearts, Kilmarnock, Celtic, Dundee, Aberdeen. So that record of 13 points from 11 on the road doesn’t look like improving too much.
Thankfully for them, it’s a home game next and struggling bottom side St Johnstone visit Ibrox on Sunday.
Saints have been gung ho in recent weeks in a complete change of style, dominating games and filling the side with attacking players.
It’s not quite working with the personnel available, with just one win – against a really poor Kilmarnock side on the day – from their last 12 matches and NINE defeats in that run.
They sit bottom by eight points behind second bottom as things stand but have a run of winnable games after this one that Simo Valakari will be targeting.
Rangers have beaten St Johnstone eight times on the bounce and remarkably Saints haven’t SCORED in any of those eight outings.

Rangers vs St Johnstone predictions
Home win
That stat about Saints not scoring in their last eight games with Rangers is a bit daft on their part.
But this new style, they’ll fancy they can hurt a Rangers back line who don’t know if they’re coming or going at present.
Rangers at home are a different animal to the insipid side on their travels so can return to winning ways, though it might not be as easy as it probably should be.
