It was obvious what December's Old Firm triumph meant to Steven Gerrard and his players - and they won't be in the mood to let the title advantage that victory gave them slip.
Despite their precarious position near the relegation zone, The Buddies showed some improved form before the winter break - and bounced back into action with a comfortable Cup win over Broxburn Athletic.
But it would be a major shock if they earned anything at Ibrox, hence odds of 22/1 for the away win and 9/1 for the draw with thepools.com .
As a result backing Rangers to win at 1/9 is meanignless.
They are a more palatable 1/3 with a -1 handicap , but still hardly value.
However, with Alfredo Morelos suspended, Jermain Defoe - successful from the penalty spot against Stranraer on Friday - should get another run out and is worth considering at 21/10 first goalscorer .
Scott Arfield opened the scoring on Friday and he is 15/2 to repeat that trick, while Ryan Kent is always worth considering in that market at 9/2 .
