WHAT a contrast it is for Steven Gerrard's men as they go from crushing Celtic to tackling Stranraer in the Scottish Cup.
Rangers have been sunning themselves in Dubai since blowing the title race wide open and there's no chance of a shock on Friday night.
Stranraer sit bottom of League One and are without a win since November so even at 90-1 with Ladbrokes they'll have no takers.
Against League One rivals the Blues have conceded 16 goals in six games so their defence must fear the worse.
The Ibrox men are no bigger than 1-20 with betfair so we have to dig deep for value.
Alfredo Morelos is banned so Jermain Defoe will start in what is likely to be a strong line-up.
Defoe is the obvious choice for first goal but he is only 17-10 at McBookie although he could be on penalties with Morelos and skipper James Tavernier out.
There's every chance of a penalty being awarded Rangers enjoying so much possession but best price I an see is 6-5 with McBookie.
Gerrard will make a couple of other changes but the 11 he puts out will be strong as he is desperate to land at least one trophy this season.
I expect Rangers to be rejuvenated, ready and roaring to go. They should win by at least four with Rangers -3 having been cut from 11-10 to a best 8-13 at Sky Bet and -4 coming in at 13-10 with sportingbet.
To be leading at half-time having scored more than one goal it's 3-4 Rangers at McBookie.
Rangers to win to nil should land at 8-13 with Sky Bet and I also like them to leading after 15 minutes at 8-15 with Ladbrokes.
Recommended Bets
- Rangers -3
- Rangers -4
- Defoe to score first
- Rangers to win to nil

As much as i’d love Stranraer to cause an upset,its NEVER going to happen.
So thinking with my head,not my heart.

I find it astonishing that such a mismatch is being televised!!
Plenty of Rangers will watch – I agree it won’t be a spectacle though.
There is plenty of mismatched games shown on TV.
TV firms will virtually always take any Celtic or Rangers game ahead of everything else.
