The Rangers were not convincing recently

Rangers' form ahead of the Old Firm of all places is not looking particularly good. In the past five competitive games, they have only managed one win, which was a very narrow 1-0 win against Dundee FC. Rangers then lost 2-1 at Saint Mirren FC and were held to a 2-2 draw at Motherwell FC. We have also recorded the Both Teams To score in four of the last five matches.The home record reads much better for Rangers. That's because Glasgow haven't lost any of their nine games at Ibrox Stadium, winning eight of them.
