Rangers vs St Johnstone Prediction (Premiership) Odds and Bets 24.10.2026

Rangers have enjoyed an impressive domestic run under Derek McInnes, collecting 20 points from nine league fixtures. Their 1-0 victory away to Celtic was followed by a 3-1 home win against Kilmarnock, with Ryan Naderi scoring twice. However, last weekend’s 2-2 draw at Dundee exposed defensive problems. Badredine Bouanani and Nico Raskin scored, but Rangers twice failed to protect their position.

McInnes also has injury concerns. Lawrence Shankland, Youssef Chermiti and Cammy Devlin remain unavailable. The Gers have won six league matches, although four finished 1-0. That suggests another victory is likely, but a comfortable winning margin is far from guaranteed.

St Johnstone have made an encouraging return to the Premiership, collecting 12 points from nine matches. Simo Valakari’s side recently beat Aberdeen 1-0 at Pittodrie before drawing 1-1 against Dundee United. Josh Fowler has been their standout attacking player, scoring six league goals. He was withdrawn through illness against Dundee United, but could be available for Saturday.

Saints have scored in seven of their nine league fixtures, including three of four away matches. They may struggle to control possession at Ibrox, but their ability to take chances makes them dangerous opponents.

1. Rangers’ Home Advantage: The Gers have won three of their four home league matches, while St Johnstone have managed just one away victory.
2. Recent Defensive Problems: Rangers conceded twice at Dundee and allowed a goal against Kilmarnock. Their backline hasn’t looked entirely convincing.
3. Josh Fowler’s Scoring Form: The Saints forward has six league goals and could cause problems if Rangers leave space around their penalty area.
4. Competitive Recent Results: Rangers have won only one league match by more than a single goal, while St Johnstone have lost just once in their last five.
5. Both Teams to Score Appeal: Saints have scored in seven of nine fixtures. Rangers to win with both teams scoring at 7/4 offers an interesting alternative to the short home-win price.
