Cup winners Rangers will look to put Tuesday’s Champions League qualifying defeat to Dynamo Kyiv behind them in the first of four all-Premier League games.

This means that Philippe Clement’s side return to the national stadium having won just one of their four games this season: Saturday’s narrow victory against struggling visitors Motherwell.

Rangers’ temporary home during the reconstruction of Ibrox was far from full to watch the game against the Ukrainians. After this major European setback, how many will turn up to watch the game against less fancied opponents from the East?

Craig Levein’s visitors had a mixed start to the season but were able to come away with an impressive 3-0 win over Kilmarnock, even though the hosts were down to ten men for most of the game.

The form of Benjamin Kimpioka, who has already scored six goals this season, and fellow striker Adama Sidibeh, who has scored four, has led to media speculation about their futures and scouts will be keen to see how they test a Rangers defence, which lost left-back Ridvan Yilmaz to injury on Tuesday.

In fact, St Johnstone have failed to score in the last five meetings between the sides since their victory at McDiarmid Park in November 2022.

Saints lost all three of their meetings last season by an aggregate score of 8-0 and have suffered four consecutive away defeats at Rangers since a Scottish Cup penalty shootout win at Ibrox in April 2021.
