Home games in the Premiership have been a walk in the park for Rangers so far, with 29 points won from 11 matches; 9 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses.
Rangers are returning here after guesting St. Johnstone in a Scottish Cup game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline.
Before that match, a Premiership win away at Kilmarnock.Goals, goals, goals? Nobody knows the future, but we do know that 15 of the 20 latest league games with this club has had three goals or more.
The manager Beale will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Hearts in only four days.
Goals are plentiful at Ibrox Stadium in the league this season as Rangers has scored 30 goals here in 11 home games. From these home matches, Rangers have conceded only 7 goals. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

4 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses. That’s the product of St. Johnstone, who have the fewest clean sheets (3) in Premiership, playing as the away team in the Premiership this season. With the St. Johnstone losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
This fixture can not go any worse than the last one, a Scottish Cup home defeat versus Rangers with 0-1 on the scoreboard.
A 2-4 loss hosting Livingston before that.The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Premiership trip to Motherwell.
