Rangers v Stranraer match preview

Rangers return from their winter break on Friday in the William Hill Scottish Cup and it’s hard to see anything other than an extremely long night for opponents Stranraer.

The visitors are bottom of Ladbrokes League One and face a Rangers side who could barely be more confident after their win at Celtic before the break.

Steven Gerrard used some of his fringe players in their 6-1 friendly win over Lokomotiv Tashkent in Dubai during the sojourn, but he’s likely to pick a strong team.

Even without the suspended Alfredo Morelos, Gers could hammer the Stair Park side.

Key stat

Stranraer have conceded in each of their 13 away games this season.
