Rangers will be hoping their derby blues are behind them as Michael Beale's men look to finish strong.
There are just two fixtures remaining before the split with St Mirren this weekend's visitors to Ibrox. And while Beale's side could not make it a win in his third try against rivals Celtic in a thrilling 3-2 derby at Celtic Park, the prospect of a tantalising Scottish Cup semi-final remains on the horizon. But first Stephen Robinson's men will want to continue their rich vein of form having been the only side to take points off both halves of the Old Firm this campaign.
With that in mind Rangers could look to go strong with their selection in front of their home fans. Alfredo Morelos was the man given the task of leading the line against Celtic and may count himself unlucky for not adding to his tally. His disallowed goal has been the talking point coming out of the derby ding-dong. Antonio Colak has been ruled out of this one and that should see the Colombian unleashed from the start at Ibrox once again.

Ryan Kent perhaps had one of his least effective Rangers games at Parkhead and like Colak, is a confirmed absentee. Fashion Sakala would be the obvious choice to come in with his direct running and pace. He's been one of the big performers under Beale and he could turn to the Zambian once again to unlock the Buddies backline. Todd Cantwell and Malik Tillman look certain to keep a hold of a starting jersey in Govan.
Nicolas Raskin was heralded by some of the Rangers persuasion for his ability to handle the derby, while Ryan Jack was the man given the nod from the off and John Lundstram appearing as a substitute. However, with Jack another one of the six confirmed players ruled out, you'd imagine last week's sub will be bumped up to the first XI.
John Souttar and Ben Davies both made clinical errors against Celtic but they will be offered the chance to go again you would imagine with ever-present Connor Goldson remaining sidelined.
James Tavernier was a shining light making it 99 and then 100 goals for Rangers and will start, while Borna Barisic will likely keep his place with Allan McGregor in between the sticks.
