Rangers form and stats

1-0-0 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Rangers in their Premiership matches away.

265 minutes! That's how long the Rangers goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Rangers has managed 2 goals and let in 1 from 1 match.
