We said: Rangers 4-0 Queen of the South

Playing at home will be a big advantage for Rangers in this particular cup game, being able to guarantee the atmosphere will not get on top of them as it could have done if things were the other way around. The Gers have the stronger squad out of the two teams, and having those extra options should allow them to earn passage into the next round. Read more.
