The second match of the Scottish Premiership is back in action this time at the Ibrox. This will see side Rangers play host to side St. Mirren. The match schedules for Sunday with kickoff at 5 pm.
Both sides will be eager to extend their leads in the Premiership after coming through narrow victories. Rangers picked up three points after a win at Pittodrie, while St. Mirren registered a win against Livingston.
Steven Gerard is still in contention for a solid starting eleven for his side with transfer rumors placing a dent on his squad. The availability of Alfredo Morelo is still in question with Lille heavy contenders for the skipper.
The side will be returning from a Europa League exit in the knockout stages. The side fell victim to side Bayer Leverkusen. But Steven Gerrard will be full of praise for his side, managing to get to the knockout stages.
St. Mirren have had an incredible start to the campaign with the win over Livingston. The side managed to survive the dotted line with six points above. A clean sheet was kept too after a thrilling diving head by debutant Richard Tait.
