Take Rangers to win high-scoring battle

Scottish Premiership
BT Sport 1, 7.45pm Friday

Rangers should have enough to beat St Johnstone in Perth and there could be a few goals too.

The Ibrox men look too short to back at 90-minutes odds of 4-7, but they have been in decent goalscoring form.

Saints are significantly weaker without the threat of on-loan Michael O'Halloran, who can't play against his parent club.

And they certainly concede plenty at the other end. A run of one win in five games isn't great either and that was a fortuitous one at home to Hamilton.

Pedro Caixinha's men usually pose a goal threat with Alfredo Morelos on form and can prevail at McDiarmid Park against Tommy Wright's out-of-sorts Saints.

Recommendation
Rangers to win & over 2.5 goals
1pt 7-5 general
