Rangers travel to a frosty Fife as they get set to play their rearranged Scottish Cup tie with Cowdenbeath tomorrow night.
This time the game is set to go ahead after Cowdenbeath brought in a temporary heating system for the pitch.
With a tough run ahead, expect Gerrard to change things up to face off against the League Two side. Here’s three youngsters who could play some part tomorrow…

Dapo Mebude

The talented young striker recently signed a new contract and is being primed for the first team. But whilst highly regarded, the Scotland youth forward is yet to make a full debut.
That said, he’s not too far from making a breakthrough, and Mebude took to his Instagram to hint it might also be closer than we think.

Stephen Kelly

Steven Gerrard has already shown he’s not afraid to use 18-year-old youngster Kelly in cup competition. We saw our first glimpse of the youngster against Ayr United in the Betfred Cup earlier in the season.
Tomorrow could be the perfect chance to continue his integration into the first team. Kelly also signed a new contract with the club this year.

Jordan Houston

Jordan Houston told The Evening Times recently that he wants Tav’s jersey. He may well get it at some point tomorrow night.
Gerrard proved how close this youngster was to making his full debut by subbing him on in the second half against Helsinki. Could he take the big step tomorrow night?
