Rangers, the giants of Glaswegian football, play Dundee, a team from the Championship, on Wednesday night at Ibrox in the Scottish League Cup quarterfinals. Rangers returned to winning ways on Sunday when they defeated Motherwell 2-1 in the Scottish Premiership after falling to Liverpool 7-1 at home in the Champions League.
Malik Tillman and John Lundstram scored in the second half to give the Gers a two-goal lead. The Steelmen responded with a goal from Stuart McKinstry, but the visitors held on for their eighth league win of the season. In fact, the Rangers have had a strong domestic run this season, winning nine of their 11 games and drawing one. Their only loss came against Old Firm rivals Celtic, who beat them 4-0 in the league in September.
Prediction
Even if Van Bronckhorst makes the change, Rangers will be viewed as strong favorites to advance against their Championship counterparts. Dundee has performed well thus far in the Scottish League Cup this season, but we expect the hosts to win easily at Ibrox.
