Rangers head to Bayview Stadium for a tricky encounter against part-timers East Fife this afternoon as they strive for a strong cup run this season.

Steven Gerrard's men fell at the semi-final hurdle last season while the Fifers failed to make it through the group stages.

Darren Young's men have been extremely impressive this term, however, and have already scalped Dundee United and Hearts in Group A.
