Rangers return to league action against St Johnstone on Wednesday fresh from their Viaplay Cup final win over Aberdeen at Hampden on Sunday.

The 1-0 win over the Dons secured manager Philippe Clement his first silverware in only his 14th match in charge – continuing his impressive unbeaten run in the hotseat – while it was also Rangers' first League Cup trophy win since 2011.

The team are sure to receive a heroes return to Ibrox having also secured a place in the last 16 of the Europa League last week thanks to a stunning 3-2 win away to Real Betis that secured a first place finish in Group C.

St Johnstone, meanwhile, have been on an upward curve since the appointment of their own new boss last month. Craig Levein has taken the Perth club from bottom of the Scottish Premiership to eighth with 11 points collected from his seven matches in charge.

A 1-0 win over Hibs at McDiarmid Park on Saturday made it two wins from the last three matches, with only an injury-time equaliser from Motherwell at Fir Park the previous weekend preventing a three-match winning sequence.
