Current form

Rangers

Under Danny Rohl, Rangers have shown improvement after a shaky start to the season. They bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Hearts with a 1-0 win over Motherwell last Saturday, thanks to a second-half goal from Thelo Aasgaard. They are currently third in the league table with 32 points from 18 matches.

St. Mirren

St. Mirren’s recent form has been impressive, especially after their historic 3-1 victory over Celtic in the Scottish League Cup Final on December 14. This win marked only the second League Cup title in the club’s history, with Marcus Fraser scoring first and Jonah Ayunga adding two more goals. St. Mirren remains unbeaten in five matches across all competitions, with their latest result being a goalless draw against Kilmarnock.
