In a mid week match in week 14, on Wed Dec 15th, Rangers will host St. Johnstone at Ibrox Stadium in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Premiership teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 9 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. Rangers sits at 1st place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-1 draw against Olympique Lyonnais. Scott Wright struck first for Rangers in the 41st minute, but Calvin Ughelumba got the equalizer for Olympique Lyonnais on an own goal in the 48th minute earning Olympique Lyonnais at least a draw. Rangers looks to continue their winning ways, having won 7 of their last 10, while st. Johnstone is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Aberdeen. Teddy Jenks struck first for Aberdeen in the 83rd minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed St. Johnstone couldn’t manage to score, and Aberdeen took the shutout win. St. Johnstone looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, in Mcdiarmid Park, Rangers won by a score of 2 to 1. Michael O’Halloran scored the first goal for St. Johnstone in the 51st minute, then Kemar Roofe tied it up for Rangers in the 58th minute Finally they completed the comback victory in the 79th minute on a goal by James Tavernier to cap off a wild match.
Ali Crawford and Ryan Porteous are the top scorers for St. Johnstone in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Alfredo Morelos has been the most prolific scorer on Rangers in the last 5 matches with three goals.
