Rangers vs St Mirren LIVE team news and buildup from Premiership clash at Ibrox

It's back to Premiership action for Rangers this weekend as St Mirren make the trip to Glasgow's south side.

The football itself has taken a back seat at Ibrox for the last few days with matters off the field dominating the news cycle. Record Sport broke the story that the San Francisco 49ers' investment group are in advanced talks over a takeover. And that's likely to lead to an injection of positivity among punters who are dreaming of a bright future.

That could of course all come crashing down if St Mirren prove awkward customers again. Stephen Robinson's Buddies love punching above their weight and will feel more than capable of taking the fight to Rangers. They're seeking a return to winning form after a recent flatline and a big result at Ibrox would tee them up nicely for a European push.

But Rangers, for all their struggles, have been strong at home, with 12 wins and just one draw at Ibrox in the league. And Philippe Clement will know the importance of another one today as he looks to state his case to the incoming new owners.

The big story in town at Ibrox is of course the takeover which has completely dominated the Scottish football news cycle since Record Sport broke the story on Wednesday.

And it's easy to see why – it's a potentially transformative investment that's set to bring in an exciting new era at Ibrox.

For now though, it's the football. Philippe Clement can't afford any more slip-ups in the eyes of fans and he'll know the importance of three points here, even if the league looks like it's gone.

Rangers will once again be without both Dujon Sterling although hopes at Ibrox are high that the utility man could be be fit enough to return to action by
