Rangers take on Falkirk at Ibrox in the Scottish Cup this afternoon.

Rangers starting XI: Alnwick; Tavernier, Bates, Alves, Halliday; Candeias, Goss, Docherty, Windass; Cummings, Morelos.

Rangers substitutes: Foderingham, Martin, Hodson, Holt, Herrera, Miller, Dodoo.

Rangers are back in Scottish Cup action this afternoon as they host Championship side Falkirk at Ibrox in the quarter-finals of the competition.

The Gers beat St Johnstone 4-1 in midweek to continue their fine form, and Graeme Murty has rotated his side to give fringe players a chance.

As is often the case in cup competitions, Jak Alnwick starts in goal ahead of regular first-choice goalkeeper Wes Foderingham, whilst Bruno Alves comes back into defence.

James Tavernier, David Bates and Andy Halliday join Alves in the back line, whilst Sean Goss and Greg Docherty will again feature in the middle of the park.

Josh Windass and Daniel Candeias keep their places in the side, and will support Jason Cummings and Alfredo Morelos in the final third.

Foderingham drops down to the bench, and is joined by January signing Russell Martin as well as veteran forward Kenny Miller.

Lee Hodson, Jason Holt, Eduardo Herrera and Joe Dodoo are also named as substitutes this afternoon as Rangers chase a spot in the semi-finals.
