Is St Johnstone v Rangers on TV? Live stream, TV channel, kick-off time and team news for return of Scottish Premiership

RANGERS are back in action after the international break with a trip to Perth.

St Johnstone may be rock bottom of the cinch Premiership - but they are eyeing up an Old Firm DOUBLE.

Half of their two point haul so far this season came in a heroic defensive display at Parkhead where they shut-out champions Celtic for a point.

And Michael Beale's side will not have it their own way against Steven McLean's side as they look to bounce back from their morale-sapping Old Firm defeat.

Here's how to tune in to their tricky tie at McDiarmid Park.

What time does St Johnstone v Rangers kick off?

  • Rangers head to Perth on Saturday - September 16.
  • The match kicks off at 12.30pm.
  • It will be held at McDiarmid Park, Perth.
  • Referee will be Nick Walsh with Gavin Duncan on VAR.

What TV channel is St Johnstone v Rangers on and can I live stream it?

  • St Johnstone v Rangers will be shown live on Sky Sports.
  • Coverage begins at 12pm on both the Main Event and Sky Sports Football channels.
  • That means the game can be streamed live too - on Sky Go, NowTV or via the Sky Sports app.
  • Highlights will also be shown on Sportscene at 7.30pm on the BBC Scotland channel, repeated on BBC One at 11.45pm

Team News

Michael Beale is seeking a response from his side after the 1-0 home defeat to Celtic that brought scrutiny on his role - and anger from the stands.

St Johnstone are aiming to move off the bottom of the table - they are currently 12th on goal difference with Aberdeen.

Last season

The teams met four times last season - Rangers ran out winners in two league matches and a Scottish Cup trip to Perth.

However the Saints inflicted a costly defeat on Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side last November and he left the club shortly afterwards.
