We said: St Johnstone 0-2 Rangers

 Rangers will be eager to put right the shock defeat that they suffered in their last match at McDiarmid Park, and we think that they will emerge as comfortable winners. Beale is still undefeated as boss, with his side performing much better since his appointment, and we cannot see that run coming to an end against an out-of-sorts St Mirren side. Read more.
