St Johnstone defender Callum Booth has fired a warning to Rangers that his side are transformed from the one they faced earlier in the season.
The Light Blues won 4-0 in a comfortable win in September as Tommy Wright's men suffered a wretched start to their campaign.
But facing Saints today is a totally different ball game as the Perth side have propelled themselves up the league table with a consistent spell of form that has seen them go five games without defeat.
And Booth is adamant that there is nothing to fear from Steven Gerrard's team.
"Yes there is definitely a different feel about it since the last time we played Rangers here," Booth told SaintsTV.
"The confidence is a lot higher and confidence is massive in football.
"The run we have been on, we are playing really well and we feel we have a really good chance on Sunday.
"Obviously it is going to be a tough game but we are in really good spirits but we need to keep doing the things that made us do well over the last couple of weeks.
"The performances have picked up before and after Christmas."
The former Hibernian, Partick Thistle and Dundee United defender admits with improving results has come a better atmosphere around the club.
He said: "It is a happier place around the training ground.
"The staff are happier, the players are happier everyone at the club is a bit happier.
"St Johnstone hadn't really been in that position before, the position we found ourselves in at the start of the season.
"It was difficult but hopefully we have managed to come through it but we need to look forward now and hopefully we can push on and get top six."
