LiontipsRangers vs St. Johnstone. Prediction (odds 2.25) and bets on the match of the Scottish Championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Rangers approached the start of the season as a contender for the championship title, but their status was very formal, and as recent seasons have shown, the Jerseys are not yet capable of fully competing with Celtic for the title. The situation has not changed in the current championship - at the moment, Philippe Clement team is in second place in the table with 41 points and is already 18 points behind the Celts - even taking into account the game in reserve, it will be almost impossible to win back such a handicap. Third-placed Dundee United is four points away.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hefte is disqualified. Souttar, Tavernier and Kasanvirjo are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Rangers have won just one of their last five games.
- Rangers have conceded goals in four of their last five games
Probable line-up: Kelly - Yilmaz, Propper, Nsiala, McCausland - Barron, Bajrami, Black, Diomande, Hadji - Igamane.
Current form
St Johnstone, for objective reasons, did not have the opportunity to set too ambitious goals for themselves, but at the same time they were not considered a clear candidate for relegation. However, at the moment, Simo Vaccari team is at the bottom of the standings, having only 15 points to their credit and already eight points behind T11th Heart - the situation is gradually turning into a disaster. In the last round, St Johnstone lost 1:3 to Dundee at home, thus suffering their 15th defeat of the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Douglas, Fisher and Ikpezu are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- St Johnstone are winless in their last eight matches, losing six and drawing two.
- St Johnstone have scored in their last two matches
Probable lineup: Ray - Raymond, Mikulicz, Sanders, Wright - Smith, Sprangler, Kimpioka, Clarke, Carey - Sidibe.

3.05Tip and bets
Rangers, after losing points in two rounds in a row, are already hopelessly behind Celtic, but at the same time they have allowed their competitors to get close – the hosts will clearly have plenty of motivation. St. Johnstone has looked very weak lately, and throughout the season as a whole, almost hopeless, in such a state the Saints can hardly count on success in Glasgow, the opponent is motivated and has a huge advantage in class, the victory of the favorite will certainly be confident.
We think that the visitors have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-2.5) on Rangers . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.97
Bet on total
Rangers will certainly be in the most aggressive mood today and will obviously go forward with a large force from the first minutes. Jerseys have very high-level players in attack and it is unlikely that St. Johnstone has a chance to hold out, the hosts will probably be able to score in the first half. At the same time, the Saints will also have to take risks, the guests have absolutely nothing to lose, they are quite capable of responding with one goal, especially since Rangers have not been particularly reliable in defense lately.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 2.25
Bet on corners
Rangers are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-6) on corners for Rangers. This bet is offered for 1.95
