Match preview

Will the holders remain on track for another visit to Hampden?

Back in May, Rangers beat Hearts 2-0 after extra time, thereby recapturing this particular piece of silverware for the first time since 2009.

Last month, the Light Blues began the defence of their trophy at McDiarmid Park, with Borna Barišić’s sweet strike enough to down St Johnstone.

Meanwhile, Mick Beale has accumulated 28 points from ten Premiership games, following Saturday’s narrow 2-1 victory over Ross County.

However, frustratingly for Beale, his team remain nine points below league-leaders Celtic, who too just keep on winning.

Thus, this adds extra importance to the cup competitions, with Rangers highly-likely to cruise through this tie.

To get this far, the Jags have so far swatted aside Kelty Hearts and, just about, edged out Dunfermline on penalties.

In league terms, Ian McCall’s team sit fourth in the Championship, despite actually losing three of their last four.

Since 1994, Partick have lost 22 of 26 meetings with Rangers.

The Jags only positive result in this fixture since the turn of the millennium came in September 2017, a 2-2 draw at Firhill; Alfredo Morelos actually opened the scoring that night.

Another emphatic Rangers victory seems likely at Ibrox.
