After back-to-back 5-0 wins, Rangers will be confident and McIntyre is concerned his players could face a “very long evening.”
“For me, these are the places you want to go to. That’s why you are in football – you want to go and embrace playing at Ibrox, Parkhead, the big stadiums,” McIntyre said, as quoted by The Courier.
“So you have to go there and have a real belief in your ability for a start.

“If you go there with self-doubt then it can be a very long evening.”

With St. Mirren only four points behind Dundee and Hamilton, the relegation battle could be much tighter at the end of play tonight.
If McIntyre’s side go to Ibrox fearing a thumping then there’s a good chance Steven Gerrard’s side will just pick them apart.
