St Mirren are set to name an unchanged squad as they welcome title-chasing Rangers to Love Street.

The Buddies remain without defender David van Zanten, meaning that the defender has already played his final game for the club ahead of his summer move to Hibernian.

Franco Miranda sustained a back injury in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Inverness Caledonian Thistle, so manager Gus MacPherson will keep faith with young full-backs David Barron and Ryan McCay.

Rangers will be without defender Carlos Cuellar, who is suspended, but midfielder Kevin Thompson returns from his own ban.

The Gers defence should be boosted, however, by the return of Sasa Papac. The Bosnian is set to recover from a thigh strain in time to feature, while former St Mirren captain Kirk Broadfoot is likely to play against his old club.

Goalkeeper Allan MacGregor and midfielder Chris Burke are both still out with ankle injuries, while Steven Naismith also misses out with a knee problem.
