Rangers return to William Hill Scottish Premiership action this Sunday as we take the short journey to Paisley to face St Mirren at the SMISA Stadium.
Russell Martin and his side head into the match knowing they need a victory, not only to stay in the title race at this early stage, but to stop the fans toxicity going nuclear.
Two draws from two to kick off the league season against Motherwell and relegation favourites Dundee did little to endear Martin to the Ibrox faithful, with a scrappy 4-2 Premier Sports Cup win over third tier Alloa his only domestic win so far.
Ibrox voiced their concern during Tuesday evening's 3-1 defeat to Club Brugge in the first leg of Rangers’ UEFA Champions League playoff round tie, with boo’s ringing out of an emptying Ibrox as the Belgians raced into a 3-0 lead inside 20 minutes.
An improvement is needed, and fast, with the away leg and the visit of Celtic to Govan following the trip to the Buddies, the rejuvenation of Russell’s Rangers MUST start here.
Tickets are sold out but here is all the information you’ll need for Sunday’s crucial match.
