Rangers striker Nicky Clark says the Ibrox men will not fall for Queen of the South's set-piece tricks on Sunday.

Gers boss Stuart McCall was unhappy with the the Doonhamers' goal in last weekend's Scottish Premiership play-off quarter-final first leg at Palmerston.

He claimed Queens defender Chris Higgins had been guilty of blocking Light Blues centre-back Darren McGregor before Derek Lyle headed home from a corner.

Dean Shiels's late winner, however, means Rangers now take a vital 2-1 lead back to Ibrox ahead of this weekend's return.

And Clark says his side will be ready for anything James Fowler's men try this time.

He said: "We can prepare for it because they got a goal from it last week and we know what they will try to do.

"They might change it this week and not try it, we don't know. We will just need to wait and see on Sunday.

"It's part of football these days. You work on these things in training and hope they come off in games. Luckily for them it did.

"We will try to make the referee aware of it because it helps if he can see the block and give us a free-kick. But if we score with a free-kick at the other end it will be good play from us, so you can look at it both ways."

Rangers have reduced ticket prices for the crucial match to just £5 across the board for match which is crucial to their promotion hopes.

And with the game looking set to be a sell-out, Clark hopes the Gers' faithful will pump up the noise levels.

He said: "I think it will make a massive difference. The fans have been great through everything we've been through and they've stuck by all the players and backed us.

"It would be great to see Ibrox full again on Sunday as it gives you an extra 10 to 15 per cent in the game.

"I think Cammy Bell said it during the week. It makes you run quicker and jump higher and stuff like that, so it would be great to see it full."

Stevie Smith swept Rangers ahead last week with a stunning free-kick before the side showed character to bounce back after Lyle's leveller to snatch an advantage with Shiels' header.

McCall set his team up in a 3-5-2 formation and it produced a marked improvement on the two previous performances in Dumfries which saw Gers ship five goals without finding the Queens net.

But Clark knows the job is not done yet.

The former Queens frontman said: "We done well down there, the gaffer set us out in a way to play and it worked well for us and we got the result.

"I think it did help, obviously we changed from what we done the last time we went down there and I think they were a wee bit surprised with the way we set up.

"We got to them and stopped them playing. It worked well as we got the 2-1 victory.

"It is only half time though and we know what we need to do on Sunday. The gaffer will make sure we are ready for it.

"When I was there a few years ago we had a good squad and they've kept most of it together.

"They all know each other really well and their performances have been really good. Even last year they got to the play-offs and they've done it again this year.

"Are we favourites to go through? You could say that but we don't look at anything like that. We know what we need to do and the gaffer knows what we need to do to get through the game."
