You’ve got to go way back to the 2001/02 season when Rangers won three-nil, under the now Sunderland manager Dick Advocaat, in the last League Cup meeting between the sides. Shota Arveladze, with two, and Arthur Numan were the goalscorers.
The season before last Gers played, and beat, Airdrie on five occasions, we’ll be looking to complete a double hat-trick in this next meeting….but will we?
