Rangers won 2–0 away to St. Mirren. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 1.08 for St. Mirren and 3.34 for Rangers. Rangers generated the higher xG total. St. Mirren scored -1.08 goals relative to xG and Rangers scored -1.34 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

St. Mirren registered 11 shots, with 4 on target (shot accuracy: 36.4%); Rangers recorded 17 shots, with 7 on target (shot accuracy: 41.2%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.

The model's highest-probability 1X2 outcome was Away (63.6%); the actual outcome was Away, so the leading selection matched the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
