Cowdenbeath v Rangers: William Hill Scottish Cup betting preview and tip
Jermain Defoe and rusty Rangers may need time to batter Blue Brazil
William Hill Scottish Cup fourth round
Premier Sports 1, 7.45pm Friday
Jermain Defoe will get his first taste of Scottish football as he clambers over oversized stock-car tyres to get to the Central Park pitch at Cowdenbeath and a rusty Rangers may take some time to batter the Blue Brazil.
Steven Gerrard's side return from the Ladbrokes Premiership winter break for a trip to the most depressing ground in Scottish football.
It's far from the glamour that marquee signing Defoe is used to and the Fifers are not the complete 28-1 no-hopers the betting suggests.
The Ladbrokes League Two side have hugely improved this season following successive playoff escapes and they are well-organised. Rangers may have to wait before proving their superiority.
Recommendation
Rangers to score more goals in second half
