Rangers last, realistic, chance of winning silverware is the Scottish Cup with Philippe Clement looking to make up for last season’s disappointment.
The manager got his tactics right at Hampden, however, a mixture of officiating and luck saw him deprived of a cup double, but he will be keen to bring the famous old trophy back to Ibrox this time around.
Up next is Queen’s Park with the manager having had the luxury of a whole week off to prepare his Rangers squad for the Championship outfit.

Rangers predicted XI vs Queen’s Park
Having seen the starting XI against Fraserburgh, it would be a surprise if the Gers boss doesn’t start strong and then rotate again, this is your predicted XI.
Jack Butland needs games to get his form and consistency back, he could also do with a stable defence.
Robin Propper has been in decent form of late, however, the partnership of Clinton Nsiala and John Souttar looks promising in terms of their ability with and without the ball.
With Jefte on the left and James Tavernier on the right, Clement will give his full-backs plenty of license to join the attack.
In midfield, Nicolas Raskin and Mohamed Diomande will continue their blossoming partnership but Bailey Rice should be given minutes as early as possible, if the starters can get the job done early enough.
Rangers to start strong and then rotate in attack?
The same theory should be applied to the forward line with Hamza Igamane and Cyriel Dessers continuing up front, although the former could do with an early rest, in fact, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him start on the bench.
Ianis Hagi and Vaclav Cerny make up the attack as Rangers’ two most creative players with Nedim Bajrami, Tom Lawrence, Findlay Curtis and Ross McCausland the only other real options.
The first-half against Ross County is the standard that Clement will be looking for so that preparation for the tougher test of Hearts at Tynecastle in midweek can begin earlier than when the final whistle goes.
