Rangers will return to Scottish Premiership action this weekend as they travel to Paisley rivals St Mirren.
The Light Blues defeated Aberdeen 1-0 in the Premier Sports Cup last weekend to book their place in the final. However, their immediate focus is now Saturday night against the Buddies, in what will be their last fixture before the international break.
The match will also give Derek McInnes a chance to put right their shaky away record of late, having drawn their last two trips on the road to Dundee and Hearts, respectively. However, they make up the only two matches Rangers have failed to win in their last 11.
St Mirren have already faced the Ibrox side twice this season - but the weekend will be the first time they’ve welcomed them to the Marbill Coaches Stadium. Rangers battered the Buddies 5-1 in the League Cup quarter final, but were a lot less convincing in their previous Premiership battle, when they relied on a last minute winner from striker Bojan Miovski to prevail 1-0.

Defender Emmanuel Fernandez has been declared fit despite McInnes describing his ankle as a ‘bit of a mess’ after the Aberdeen win. Meanwhile, winger Badredine Bouanani missed training earlier in the week due to a sickness bug but should be fine for the weekend. Defender Ross McCrorie, midfielder Cammy Devlin, winger Daisuke Yokota remain out, along with strikers Lawrence Shankland and Youssef Chermiti.
Ahead of the weekend clash, McInnes said: “Obviously, going into this international break, we want to deal with the game on Saturday. But hopefully, going into the cup final, we're in good form. We can try and win that, although that's going to be a challenge for us. And then you take the good and it's just about trying to send out a good message.”
