Falkirk vs Rangers

, KO: 20:00 , Falkirk Stadium
Rangers

Rangers will be looking to record back-to-back Scottish Premiership wins for the first time this season when they travel to Falkirk on Wednesday night.

Derek McInnes finally got his first league victory as Gers boss on Sunday, with his side battling their way to a hard-fought 1-0 win away at Aberdeen.

That result has eased some of the pressure on McInnes following a disastrous start to his tenure, which was compounded by last week's Europa Conference League exit at the hands of Jablonec.

Having finally got three points on the board, Rangers will now be looking to build on their Pittodrie victory by making it two wins on the spin.

Falkirk, meanwhile, are preparing for the second half of an Old Firm double-header after giving a good account of themselves in a 2-1 defeat at Celtic Park on Saturday.

John McGlynn's new-look side are still searching for their first league victory of the season, though they face another stiff challenge with Rangers next up at the Falkirk Stadium.

How the bookies view it: Teddy Bears to triumph

Rangers are firm favourites to make it two wins from two on Wednesday night, with bet365 offering just 11/20 on an away victory.

Falkirk are priced at 17/4 to upset the odds, while the draw is available at 16/5.

Head to head: Another Falkirk Stadium shootout?

Falkirk and Rangers will renew acquaintances on Wednesday night, with the first two meetings between the sides last season ending in low-scoring draws before the Gers ran out 6-3 and 5-2 winners on their last two visits to the Falkirk Stadium.

Those two goal-filled encounters suggest there could be some value in the 10/11 with bet365 for both teams to score alongside over 2.5 goals.

Players to watch: Shankland to strike?

Lawrence Shankland was the match-winner for Rangers on Sunday, with his penalty securing all three points against Aberdeen. The newly-appointed Gers captain is just 8/13 to find the net again on Wednesday night, but backing him to score in a Rangers victory brings a much more appealing 21/20 into play.

Finley Barbrook has caught the eye in his first couple of appearances for Falkirk since arriving on loan from Ipswich. The young midfielder has already attempted three shots across those two outings, so the 8/11 on offer for him to register at least one attempt on Wednesday night looks well worth considering.

Predicted line-ups

Falkirk have a fairly lengthy injury list to contend with, with Aiden Nesbitt, Craig Sibbald, Ethan Laidlaw, Finn Yeats, Joe Gardner, Keelan Adams and Tom Lang all currently in the treatment room.

Rangers remain without long-term injury victim Youseff Chermiti, while Jose Cifuentes and Tuur Rommens are also sidelined.

Falkirk: Bain; Strain, Neilson, Henderson, McCann; Krauhaus, Spencer; McLeod, Barbrook, Fodrey; Murrell

Rangers: Pandur; Nedeljkovic, Fernandez, Makhanya, Penrice; Neil, Devlin; Minsu, Curtis, Gassama, Shankland

Anything else catch the eye?

Falkirk like to take a front-foot approach, and they are unlikely to sacrifice their attacking principles when Rangers visit on Wednesday night.

With that in mind, the Bairns look worth backing to earn at least four corners at 10/11 with bet365.

Falkirk forced three corners away at Celtic on Sunday, and they look capable of adding at least one more to that tally in front of their own supporters.

The case is strengthened by Rangers having conceded six corners against Aberdeen on Sunday and five at Dundee United on the opening weekend of the season.
