Rangers vs St Johnstone Prediction: Rangers to return to winning ways

In round 23 of the Scottish Premiership, Rangers will play St Johnstone at Ibrox Stadium. The two teams were unable to secure a win in their last league games and will hope for a win here. How will this fixture unfold?

Rangers

Rangers dropped points again in their last league game against Dundee FC and will hope for a win this time. In a game that ended 1-1, Vaclac Verny's 34th-minute strike for this side could only see them avoid a defeat, having gone behind within six minutes of kickoff. However, Rangers have not lost any of their last four matches, winning one and drawing one. In their last five home matches, Rangers won three wins while drawing two. This season, Rangers have 41 points from 21 games, scoring 38 goals and conceding 17.

St Johnstone

St Johnstone's last league game was against Dundee FC, and they suffered a defeat. In a game that ended 1-3, St Johnstone conceded three first-half goals, good enough to see their opponent take maximum points. In fact, a 67th-minute Joshua McPake strike was all this team could get as consolation at the end of full-time. Heading into this game, St Johnstone have failed to win any of their last eight matches, picking only two points in that run. St Johnstone have 15 points in 22 points this season, scoring 24 goals and conceding 44 as they sit bottom of the standings.

Expert Betting Tips

St Johnstone are playing so poorly, and on the road against a side like Rangers, I believe they will have a tough job. However, Rangers have been unable to get the best of their performances this season, and they are struggling in most of their games. However, while Rangers are well-favored to win, I expect them to do their best here. Take Rangers to win this game, and while St Johnstone have struggled defensively, a bet on goals is a good option.
