Rangers begin their Scottish Cup journey on Sunday afternoon and they couldn’t have been handed an easier tie to kick things off.

The Light Blues suffered an agonising defeat to Celtic in the Scottish Cup final last season, so their aim will be to go one step further this season.

In fact, this is a very important competition for manager Philippe Clement and his future at Ibrox.

It is Rangers‘ only realistic opportunity to win silverware this season and the Belgian needs to go all the way to avoid his first trophy-less campaign as Gers boss.

Highland League side Fraserburgh are the opposition this weekend and nothing other than a very comfortable victory will be expected of Rangers.

Fraserburgh entered the competition at the first round and earned their way to Ibrox after victories over Rothes, Turriff United and Annan Athletic.
