Rangers FC are set to lock horns with Annan Athletic FC at Ibrox Stadium in the fourth round of the Scottish FA Cup. This marks the first meeting between these two sides in this competition. Here's our match prediction.
Rangers FC are riding high on momentum as they head into this clash, boasting a five-match winning streak. After defeating their rivals Celtic FC 3-1 on the road, they secured two successive 2-0 wins against Aberdeen.
The Gers now shift their focus to the Scottish FA Cup. They begin in the fourth round. They've progressed beyond this stage in 18 consecutive appearances since their shock third-round elimination against Dunfermline in 2007.
Annan Athletic have managed to find their rhythm in the fourth tier of Scottish football. They have suffered just one defeat in their last six games. Notably, they've avoided defeat in three games (W2, D1).
Their recent match was a league game against Stranraer. There was nothing to separate the two teams as they settled for a 2-2 draw.
As far as the Scottish FA Cup is concerned, the Black and Golds began their campaign in the second round. They recorded their first win against Clyde in a 3-2 road victory since 2022. That didn't stop there as they made it back-to-back wins, this time getting the better of Buckie Thistle in a commanding 4-0 win in the third round.
