Rangers are back in action on Wednesday night as they play their rearranged Scottish Cup tie against Cowdenbeath at Central Park Stadium.

The Gers beat Livingston in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday, getting their season back on track after a defeat at Kilmarnock last Wednesday.

Steven Gerrard may rotate this side though, given that his side will also face St Mirren on Saturday afternoon, meaning the clash against fourth-tier Cowdenbeath is a good opportunity for some fringe players to feature.

Wes Foderingham, Jon Flanagan, Lassana Coulibaly and Glenn Middleton will be looking to start, whilst new signings Jermain Defoe and Steven Davis could start having been named as substitutes against Livingston.

One young player who may be looking to feature is Dapo Mebude, with the 17-year-old coming up through the Ibrox ranks this season.

Mebude signed a new deal last month as he looks to become a Rangers first-team star, and he has taken to Instagram to comment on his situation.

Mebude posted a photo of his number 62 shirt alongside an hourglass, suggesting that he will be playing first-team football soon – and the trip to Cowdenbeath is as good of a chance as any.
