Rangers vs St Mirren Predictions & Tips - Gers Tipped to Claim High-Scoring Premiership Victory
Rangers host St Mirren at Ibrox as two of the Scottish Premiership's in-form teams clash. Rangers are riding a three-match winning streak, dominating Motherwell and boasting an impressive head-to-head record against St Mirren. The Gers are tipped to secure victory, with history and current form suggesting a goal-filled contest. St Mirren, despite recent setbacks, remain competitive but face key absences. Expect Rangers to edge this encounter, with over 2.5 goals highly likely—making a home win and a high-scoring affair the prime recommendations.

Rangers vs St Mirren Predictions
Rangers welcome St Mirren to Ibrox on Wednesday as two of the Premiership's top four meet in Glasgow.
Derek McInnes's improving side have found momentum with three wins in a row, and they should make it four in a potentially high-scoring contest.
I have my stake on a home win with at least three goals scored.
Gers Can Edge Entertaining Contest
- Rangers won their last 3 matches (Premiership)
- Rangers have seen over 2.5 goals in 10 of their last 11 home matches (domestic fixtures)
- Rangers won their last 3 matches against St Mirren
- St Mirren have seen an average of 4.0 goals per game in their last 4 matches
- St Mirren lost 2 of their last 4 matches
Rangers Dominate H2H Record
Rangers and St Mirren have met on 24 occasions since 2020. Rangers won 18 of those matches while St Mirren claimed three victories. Three contests finished level.
The Gers eased to a convincing 5-1 League Cup victory in their most recent contest at Ibrox in August.
Rangers Impress in Motherwell Win
Rangers come into Wednesday's rearranged Premiership contest after a dominant 1-0 victory against Motherwell on Saturday.
Ryan Naderi scored the only goal in the 12th minute after replacing the injured Lawrence Shankland. Minsu Kim missed a penalty, but Rangers created more than enough chances to secure all three points.
The final score did not reflect the home side's superiority at Ibrox. Rangers registered 27 attempts, posted an xG total of 3.93 and had 43 touches in the opposition box, while Motherwell managed only eight shots and an xG of 0.51.
While the Gers struggled to turn their dominance into a more convincing victory, high-scoring home matches have been frequent in 2026. Before Saturday's 1-0 win, each of the Glasgow giants' 12 previous domestic fixtures at Ibrox saw over 2.5 goals.
After beginning the season with a dismal four-game winless run, McInnes’s side have improved, with Saturday’s victory their third in succession.
Rangers now sit fourth in the Premiership, five points behind unbeaten city rivals Celtic.
A dominant 5-1 win against St Mirren last month should give the hosts further confidence this week. Over a longer period, the Gers won 10 of 14 encounters against the Buddies since 2023.
Buddies Suffer First League Defeat
St Mirren make the short trip to Ibrox after suffering their first Premiership defeat of the season against Celtic on Saturday.
Nikolas Agrafiotis converted a 22nd-minute penalty to give the Buddies the lead, but second-half goals from Liam Scales and Yang Hyun-jun secured a 2-1 victory for the champions.
Craig McLeish's side performed well in an entertaining game at The Marbill Coaches Stadium. St Mirren recorded 19 efforts on goal and an xG total of 1.74.
The Buddies have made an excellent start to their Premiership campaign, securing three wins and only one defeat in five matches. The Paisley side sit third in the division, ahead of Rangers on goal difference.
Recent form has been less impressive. After winning five of their first six matches of the season, McLeish’s men have since won just one of their last four fixtures (W1, D1, L2).
Rangers vs St Mirren Team News
Rangers: (4-2-3-1) Ivor Pandur; Dujon Sterling, Emmanuel Fernandez, Olwethu Makhanya, James Penrice; Nicolas Raskin, Dan Neil; Findlay Curtis, Minsu Kim, Djeidi Gassama; Ryan Naderi
Rangers boss McInnes will be forced into at least one change to his selection this week. Club captain Lawrence Shankland misses out after picking up a hamstring injury against Motherwell.
Youssef Chermiti and Tuur Rommens remain sidelined, although the latter has returned to first-team training.
Kevin Kelsy and Badredine Bouanani are available after completing deadline-day transfers last week. Venezuelan forward Kelsy made his debut as a late sub last weekend.
Ryan Naderi is expected to lead the attack after scoring the winner on Saturday.
McInnes was pleased with Saturday’s performance against Motherwell but admitted his side should have made the result more comfortable.
“I thought the performance was strong, and in the main we nullified Motherwell's attacking threats. They've had a lot of plaudits, rightly so, for how they play, but I thought we kept their more dangerous players relatively quiet.
“On the back of that, we created some great moments for ourselves. I was really pleased with our attacking threat; we just needed to get the job finished a bit better in some of those moments.
“On another day it might come back to bite us, and that is something we can't be totally pleased with, but one goal was enough. The clean sheet and the performance in the main were very strong.”
St Mirren: (4-2-3-1) Jacob Chapman; Calvin Ramsay, Alex Gogic, Henry Fieldson, Declan John; Paul Nsio, Ryan Carr; Ismeal Kabia, Chris Mochrie, Fraser Taylor; Nikolas Agrafiotis
St Mirren make the trip to Ibrox with five expected absentees this week.
Jonah Ayunga, Keanu Baccus, Liam Donnelly, Malik Dijksteel and Killian Phillips remain unavailable for the Paisley side.
Greek forward Nikolas Agrafiotis is expected to lead the Buddies' attack on Wednesday.
Head coach McLeish was encouraged by his team's performance against Celtic, despite the 2-1 defeat.
"I'm proud of the players and the effort they gave and what they tried to do throughout the game. The goals that we lose are probably disappointing from our point of view, but Celtic have other chances in the game”
"We showed really good character. They never give up, they never give in. We then create chances; we have some of our best spells of play after we go 2-1 down. We're probably unlucky not to nick an equaliser.”
Verdict
Rangers are improving and should have enough quality to extend their winning run in a likely competitive contest at Ibrox.
I have my stake on the hosts to win, with at least three goals expected at Ibrox.
