East Fife v Rangers: Betfred League Cup predictions, free tips and TV details

TV: BT Sport 1, 3pm Sunday

Steven Gerrard gets his first taste of the gusty delights of New Bayview in the Betfred Cup and although his Rangers team should certainly win, it might not be a runaway success.

East Fife, proud three-time winners of the trophy, are unlikely to enjoy a 35-1 miracle in Methil, but they are no mugs either.

Darren Young's Ladbrokes League One side have already beaten Dundee United at Tannadice and held Hearts to a draw at home in the Cup.

Rangers tend not to perform well on artificial surfaces and they might not necessarily continue their free-scoring ways in the Kingdom of Fife.

Recommendation
Rangers to win & under 3.5 goals
1pt 11-8 bet365
