What channel is Rangers vs Fraserburgh? Live stream, TV, ref, VAR and Scottish Cup team news
Rangers must ensure they don't become the first major upset of this season's Scottish Cup.
Celtic, Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs have all comfortably secured their spots in the fifth round. Now, it's the Ibrox club's turn to face Fraserburgh, a Highland League side who know they're the underdogs in this Scottish Cup showdown.
The teams last faced each other in 2018, when a Josh Windass hat-trick led to a 3-0 victory for the Light Blues at Bellslea Park. However, Mark Cowie's ninth-placed team will be eager to play, having not participated in a competitive match since December 28 due to multiple call-offs. The cup always offers a chance for history-makers—and an opportunity for those lower down the football pyramid to earn some money.
Michael Murray, the part-time chairman, rightly views the tie as a significant financial boost for his club. This could be the highlight in what is expected to be a straightforward win for the Govan side as Philippe Clement aims to rescue the season with a Hampden triumph in May. But if Fraserburgh can somehow orchestrate a massive upset, it would be remembered as the most shocking result in the competition's history. We won't be including them in our accumulator, though!
