What channel is St Mirren v Rangers on? TV details, kick-off time, referee, VAR officials

Rangers have no margin for error as they travel to St Mirren on Saturday for their final Scottish Premiership fixture before the World Cup break.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst remains a manager under pressure heading into the Paisley clash with his Rangers side falling seven points behind Celtic in the title race on the back of a disastrous Champions League campaign.

A 1-0 midweek win over Hearts at Ibrox eased some of the strain on the Dutchman but anything less than another three points against Stephen Robinson’s men will result in further scrutiny being placed on the position of the Rangers boss.

Saints go into the match on the back of the disappointment of conceding an injury-time equaliser in a 2-2 draw with St Johnstone in midweek meaning they have won just one of their last six league outings to slip back down from third to seventh in the table.
