What channel is St Mirren v Rangers? Kick-off time, TV details, referee and VAR


The Ibrox side are engulfed in crisis after following up last weekend’s 3-1 home loss to Aberdeen – a third league defeat in seven which proved the final nail in the coffin of the now sacked Michael Beale – with a 2-1 defeat to Cypriot side Aris Limassol in the Europa League on Thursday.
Steven Davis was in caretaker charge for the European tie – as he will be in Paisley on Saturday – and will look to guide Rangers to the win that will take them above St Mirren into second place on goal difference ahead of the expected appointment of a new permanent manager over the international break.
