The Gers can cut the gap at the top of the league table back to two points after leaders Celtic beat Livingston 2-0 on Saturday.
And while the Ibrox side go into this one full of optimism, things couldn’t be more different for The Steelmen who sit second-bottom in the standings without a win in the top flight win in seven.
History isn’t on their side either as they haven’t beaten the Light Blues in the league since Boxing Day 2002.
