Rangers - St. Johnstone
Rangers look to regain momentum against St. Johnstone
Rangers enter this weekend aiming to sharpen their attacking edge as they host St. Johnstone at Ibrox Stadium on 24 October 2026 for matchday 10 of the Premiership. The hosts will be forced to reshape their forward line in the absence of the injured Lawrence Shankland, placing greater responsibility on expected starters Ryan Don Naderi and Djeidi Gassama to penetrate a disciplined visiting defensive unit. While Rangers recently saw their winning momentum checked by a 2-2 draw against Dundee FC, their overall form remains robust, highlighted by a significant victory over Celtic in September.
St. Johnstone arrive at Ibrox Stadium seeking to build on a resilient run that includes a notable 1-0 win against Aberdeen earlier this month. With Zach Mitchell sidelined, the visitors will rely on the midfield work rate of Jason Holt and Samuel Stanton to disrupt the rhythm of the home side. Historically, this fixture has favoured Rangers, who have maintained a consistent record against the Perth side in recent Premiership meetings.
