Rangers’ only chance of silverware this season has been with the Scottish Cup for a number of weeks now. Hamilton did us a Premiership favour by beating Aberdeen so they’ll feel they can beat us.

However, having managed to overcome St Johnstone in midweek Rangers should have boosted confidence and be we’ll be looking to secure a win at Ibrox to book a last four place with a Hampden Park remaining on track.

There’s little doubt we’ll be favourites to win against our struggling Premiership rivals but this was the case against Inverness recently and we know what happened in that game! Nothing will be taken for granted by Graeme Murty – in what could be his last game – but he will look to potentially sign off in style.

What will happen in this one though? Cast your vote so we know if you think it’ll be all smiles or disappointment for the Gers come the full time whistle.
