In-form Fraserburgh target Rangers scalp

Posted Tuesday, January 30, 2018 by PA

Fraserburgh are hoping to continue their recent good run of form and claim a shock victory over Rangers in their William Hill Scottish Cup fourth-round clash.

The Highland League high flyers are in top form ahead of the match as they host their Premiership opponents on the back of a four-match unbeaten run and boast just one defeat from their last nine matches in all competitions.

Midfielder Paul Young is hoping to play a part after being a mascot for The Broch before the Scottish Cup final between the Govan outfit and Dundee in 2003, while the hosts have no suspensions to worry about.

Mark Cowie’s men are out to cause an upset with their firepower after scoring a massive 22 goals in their last four matches, with Gary Harris and Paul Campbell looking strong up front to add more after a brace apiece in a 6-1 victory over Forres Mechanics last time out.

Rangers will be without Greg Docherty and James Tavernier for the rearranged tie at Bellslea Park.

Docherty is ineligible after signing from Hamilton after the original date for the clash and Tavernier is suspended.

Ryan Jack (knee), Ross McCrorie (foot), Bruno Alves (calf), Lee Wallace (hernia), Graham Dorrans (ankle), Kenny Miller (hamstring) and Jordan Rossiter (knee) remain out.

The prize for the winner of Wednesday night’s game is a fifth-round trip to Ayr United next month.
