Predicted Rangers XI vs. St Johnstone: Tom Lawrence and Rabbi Matondo to be fired

The Rangers’ starting lineup for their SPFL match against St Johnstone on Sunday afternoon is probably

not going to see many alterations under Philippe Clement’s direction.

With a commanding 3-1 victory against Ross County on Wednesday, the Gers pulled even with Celtic at

lineup, but there are some decisions to make in some key positions at the same time.

earn his first start in the SPFL as a result.
