Supercomputer predicts chances of Rangers win vs St Johnstone at Ibrox

Rangers will be looking to bounce back against St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.

Simo Valakari is doing an impressive job at the Saints and they travel to Govan on 24 October.

The Perth club are fifth in the league table and are unbeaten in their last three matches.

Derek McInnes' team recently dropped points and wouldn't want the gap at the top of the table to widen as they welcome St Johnstone to Ibrox.

The Gers lost concentration in their 2-2 draw against Dundee and are now four points behind Celtic.

Fans in G51 won't want to underestimate the Saints, but the Glaswegian outfit's chances of taking the three points look encouraging.

Are Rangers favourites vs St Johnstone?

McInnes's changes against Dundee backfired, and dropping Kevin Kelsy from the starting lineup might not have been the best decision.

Ryan Naderi played up top as the lone striker at Dens Park and struggled to impose himself, with the two centre-backs shutting him down competently.

The Gers' seven-game winning run ended against the Dark Blues, but they remain unbeaten in their last eight matches.

Opta Analyst's supercomputer has given the Glaswegian outfit a 72.7 per cent chance of beating St Johnstone.

Valakari's team have been given an 11.5 per cent probability of beating the Light Blues at Ibrox.

The possibility of a draw in Govan stands at 15.8 per cent, with McInnes' side clearly the favourites.

Derek McInnes can repeat mistakes at Ibrox

McInnes has found a winning formula at Rangers playing Kelsy and Naderi up top.

The two strikers have formed an impressive partnership at the Gers, with the Czechia international providing the grit and determination up top to shut down opposition defenders.

While the former Portland Timbers centre-forward hasn't hit the expected heights yet, his physicality and hold-up play complement Naderi's attributes.

Minsu Kim delivered one of his worst performances for the Light Blues at Dens Park, while Badredine Bouanani pulled the creative strings from the right-wing.

Djeidi Gassama has been wasteful in the final third in recent matches, frustrating fans, and it wouldn't be surprising to see McInnes make a couple of changes up front in the upcoming game.
