Rangers have stumbled too often on the road this season but they could hardly pick a more welcoming fixture in which to rectify that than a short journey to face Hamilton.

Steven Gerrard's side have lost at Livingston and Celtic and been held to draws at Aberdeen and Motherwell on their league travels.

But they face an Accies side who are low in confidence after losing five of their last six matches and having shipped six goals in their last game against Hibernian.

As always there's a worry about the artificial pitch but Rangers should still be backed to rack up a few goals against Martin Canning's limited side.

Recommendation
Rangers to win & over 2.5 goals
2pts 10-11 general
