Rangers have failed to win in two games against Ladbrokes Premiership teams this season but goalkeeper Wes Foderingham feels they have dominated both.
And he is confident they can see off Kilmarnock in their Rugby Park replay on Tuesday following the goalless William Hill Scottish Cup fifth-round tie at Ibrox.
The Ladbrokes Championship leaders lost 3-1 at Ibrox against St Johnstone in the League Cup in September and lost their three previous against top-flight sides in 2015 but Foderingham believes Rangers compare well to the teams above them.
Foderingham said: "People talk about a gulf in class and quality between the leagues and I don't see it.
"We have played two Premiership teams now. Albeit we lost to St Johnstone, we dominated the game, dominated the football, and it was the same in the Kilmarnock match as well. We just didn't get the goal."
The 25-year-old, who has kept four consecutive clean sheets, added: "We defended well and probably didn't get the luck. We had one or two half chances and hit the bar and the post. So we go to the replay full of confidence."
Foderingham was speaking at a Kick It Out anti-racism workshop with children from Ibrox Primary School.
"We've made great strides in football but there is still more work to be done," the former Swindon player said.
"I've been lucky enough not to experience it on the pitch. There was one incident at an away game where I was going back to the coach and an away fan said: 'Goalkeeper, go back to your own country'.
"And he couldn't have been any more than 16. So workshops like this and going into schools and football clubs, speaking to the younger generation and trying to educate them on matters around racism and discrimination, can only help."
