• Fixture: Rangers vs St Mirren

• Date: Tuesday, 30 December 2025

• Kick-off: 19:45 GMT

• Venue: Ibrox Stadium

Rangers are coming into this match with a solid run of form, having secured three wins in their last five games. Their recent victory against Motherwell at home should give them the confidence to push forward against St Mirren. With a predicted 4-2-3-1 formation, Rangers will likely look to control the midfield and exploit the wings with players like Gassama and Aasgaard.

St Mirren, on the other hand, have been inconsistent, with their recent results showing a mix of wins, draws, and a loss. Their last game was a goalless draw against Kilmarnock, which might leave them a bit frustrated but still in a position to challenge Rangers. With a 3-1-4-2 setup, St Mirren will aim to be compact at the back and hit Rangers on the counter, relying on the pace of Ayunga and N'Lundulu.

Match Prediction: Rangers 2-1 St Mirren

Rangers have shown good form recently, winning three out of their last five matches. Their most recent victory was a 1-0 win against Motherwell at home, which should boost their confidence going into this game. Despite a loss to Hearts away, Rangers have managed to secure wins against Hibernian and Kilmarnock, indicating a strong home advantage and a team that can bounce back from setbacks.

St Mirren's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with two wins, two draws, and a loss in their last five games.

However, they did manage to secure wins against Livingston and Dundee Utd at home, showing they can be a tough nut to crack on their own turf. The loss to Dundee away suggests they need to be more consistent on the road.

• Predicted lineup: Butland (GK), Tavernier (DF), Sterling (DF), Fernandez (DF), Meghoma (DF), Barron (MF), Raskin (MF), Aasgaard (MF), Diomande (MF), Gassama (MF), Chermiti (AT)

Rangers are expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Butland in goal and a back four of Tavernier, Sterling, Fernandez, and Meghoma. This setup should allow them to control the midfield with Barron and Raskin, while Aasgaard and Gassama provide width and creativity in attack.

• Predicted lineup: George (GK), Fraser (DF), King (DF), Freckleton (DF), Gogić (MF), McMenamin (MF), Phillips (MF), Idowu (MF), John (MF), N'Lundulu (AT), Ayunga (AT)

St Mirren will likely stick with their 3-1-4-2 formation, with George between the posts and a back three of Fraser, King, and Freckleton. This formation should help them stay compact and solid at the back, with Gogić anchoring the midfield and Phillips and Idowu providing support to the attacking duo of N'Lundulu and Ayunga.

• Gassama vs King: Gassama's pace and directness will be a real test for King's defensive skills.

• Raskin vs Idowu: Raskin's control in midfield will be crucial against Idowu's energetic pressing.

• Barron (Rangers): Barron's ability to dictate the tempo from midfield will be key for Rangers.

• Ayunga (St Mirren): Ayunga's speed and finishing could be the difference for St Mirren in this match.
