Is Rangers vs Stirling Albion on TV? Stream details, kick-off time and team news for Scottish Cup tie

Rangers make a quickfire return to action following their midweek trip to Aberdeen when they welcome League Two outfit Stirling Albion to Ibrox in the Scottish Cup fourth round.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men don’t have time to dwell on their disappointing 1-1 draw with the Dons at Pittodrie on Tuesday night as the bid to avoid a cup shock against the Binos.

The Dutchman watched on from the Hampden stands as his side suffered a 3-1 defeat against Hibernian in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final just days before he was unveiled as manager.

Under previous boss Steven Gerrard, the Light Blues struggled in cup competitions, despite their domestic dominance, so van Bronckhorst will be eager to kick-start their Scottish Cup campaign on a winning note.

Stirling, under the guidance of Darren Young who took over from Kevin Rutkiewicz last month, will face an uphill battle to spring an upset.

The Forthbank outfit make the journey along with M80 on the back of a thrilling 3-3 draw against Stranraer last Saturday.

The part-timers can take confidence from their previous trip to Ibrox (0-0 draw) when the sides last met in League Two back in 2013.

What’s the team news ahead of Rangers vs Stirling Albion?

Giovanni van Bronckhorst confirmed Kemar Roofe and Leon Balogun WILL be available for selection after the pair recovered from recent injury setbacks.

However, the Dutchman stated the game will come too soon for crocked midfield trio Ryan Jack, Steven Davis and Scott Arfield.

Ryan Kent, who was sent off against Aberdeen in midweek, misses out along with Joe Aribo and Filip Helander (knee), but the likes of Cedric Itten, Fashion Sakala, John Lundstram and Leon King are likely to feature with youth likely to be given a chance to impress.

Van Bronckhorst stated: “No fresh injury concerns. Roofe will be involved tomorrow as will Leon Balogun, but it is a little too early for (Ryan) Jack.

“(Scott) Arfield trained a little bit today so will hopefully join next week along with (Steven) Davis.”

Stirling Albion boss Darren Young handed debuts to new signings Akeel Francis and Aberdeen loanee Mason Hancock during the 3-3 draw against Stranraer last weekend.

Former Hearts striker Dale Carrick, ex-St Mirren midfielder Nathan Flanagan and former Livingston frontman Dylan Mackin bring much-needed experience to the Binos squad.
