RANGERS are licking their wounds after a tough week - but St Mirren have it in their power to pile on the misery.

The Ibrox side were beaten 3-1 by Aberdeen in their last league outing – a result that saw manager Michael Beale pay with his job.

Steven Davis was handed the reins on an interim basis for the midweek trip to Cyprus to take on Aris Limassol in the Europa League.

But things went from bad to worse for the Light Blues as they were beaten 2-1 to put a dent in their last 32 prospects.

Now they face a tricky trip to Paisley to face a St Mirren side who are currently three points above them in the Premiership table.

Stephen Robinson’s men have enjoyed a storming start to the season and remain, alongside Celtic, one of only two undefeated sides in the division.

Saints were a formidable force at home last season as they claimed a top-six berth and it ought to be a thriller at the SMISA Stadium this weekend.
