Rangers head coach Danny Rohl will hope to close the gap at the top of the Scottish Premiership as they welcome St Mirren to Ibrox for their second home game in four days on Tuesday (kick-off: 7.45pm).
The German saw his side reclaim third spot in the table with a narrow 1-0 win over Motherwell at the weekend, as Thelo Aasgaard’s 67th-minute strike ended their visitors' 10-game unbeaten run and put them to within nine points of league leaders Hearts after their defeat against Hibs.
Their visitors, St Mirren, enter the game on the back of a frustrating 0-0 draw with Kilmarnock at the weekend, but will be confident heading to Ibrox after going unbeaten in their last four games against the Glasgow giants. The Premier Sports Cup champions won on their last visit to Ibrox, where strikes from Mikael Mandron and Toyosi Olusanya earned them a 2-0 win back in February.
