St Mirren v Rangers (Wed, 15:00)

St Mirren's Brandon Mason returns from suspension while Scott Arfield will be absent for Rangers after limping off against Hibernian on Saturday. Ryan Jack and Nikola Katic remain out.

St Mirren manager Jim Goodwin: "I think I'm right in saying Rangers are the only team in the Premiership who haven't had a penalty given against them and sometimes subconsciously it can play on the minds of officials.

"You just hope that if we are to have one of those decisions tomorrow that they go in our favour and the referees are brave enough to make the calls needed.

Rangers assistant boss Gary McAllister: "This is where we have to utilise the squad and try to rotate things, while also being careful of not disrupting the rhythm that we're in at the minute because we're in a good place."

Did you know? Rangers' run of 12 straight league wins is the longest by any Scottish Premiership club since Celtic won 22 in a row under Brendan Rodgers in March 2017.
