Rangers are unbeaten since the winter break and are looking to build on their strong start during the second half of the season whilst Partick have only lost one in their last 4 – at the hands of Celtic.

Partick Thistle
GlasgowPartick Thistle
The Jags currently sit 11th in the SPFL table, with 23 points from their opening 24 games leaving them embroiled in a relegation scrap. Alan Archibald’s men have been building momentum before and after the winter break, winning 3 of their last 5 matches – form they will be desperate to keep up. Chris Erskine tops the scoring charts for Thistle with 4 goals and he’ll be desperate to score against the league leaders.
Glasgow Rangers
Graham Murty has steadied the ship at Ibrox and the Gers look well placed to mount a challenge on Aberdeen in second place in the SPFL table. They currently sit 3rd, with 46 points from 24 games and a win here would propel them above Aberdeen in the table. Alfredo Morelos has had a remarkable start to life in Scotland, scoring 11 goals and his form attracted interest from China during the January transfer window but he appears to be staying put for now.
Head to Head
Incredibly, Partick have never beaten Rangers in the SPL with Rangers winning 18 and drawing 6 of the 24 top-flight meetings between the sides.
This will be the 4th meeting between the sides this season already, with 2 cup matches ending as draws (2-2 and 1-1) whilst the league fixture back in November resulted in a comfortable 3-0 win for Rangers at Ibrox.
