The forthcoming encounter between St Johnstone and Rangers is highly anticipated, with both teams gearing up to compete on the pitch. As the match draws near, here is a brief overview of the most recent team news, injury updates, and noteworthy statistics to keep you well-informed.
St Johnstone’s midfielder, Dan Phillips, is expected to make a comeback to the squad after being sidelined for three matches due to a muscle strain. However, long-term absentees such as Ali Crawford, Drey Wright, Ross Sinclair, and Cammy MacPherson are not yet prepared to return to action.
Conversely, Rangers will see the return of midfielder Dujon Sterling following a two-game ban, and defender Leon Balogun will also be available, albeit wearing a protective mask due to a facial injury. Regrettably for Rangers, winger Rabbi Matondo will be absent due to a muscle injury, while Kemar Roofe, Danilo, Kieran Dowell, and Abdallah Sima remain sidelined.
In an intriguing turn of events, Rangers’ 2-0 victory last season ended a string of matches with only one goal between the two teams, extending back to the Ibrox side’s 3-0 win in December 2020.
