Rangers vs Dundee: How to watch Premier Sports Cup quarter-final tie on TV, live stream, kick-off time and team news

Rangers play host to Championship side Dundee at Ibrox in their Premier Sports Cup quarter-final showdown on Wednesday night.

The Light Blues are bidding to reach the last-four of the competition for the sixth time in seven years, while the visitors will be massive underdogs to end their 20 year wait for a place in the semi-finals.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side recovered from a humbling 7-1 Champions League loss to Liverpool by defeating Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday, thanks to second half goals from Malik Tillman and John Lundstram.

The Gers will be determined to lift the trophy for the first time since season 2010/11 and they eased past Queen of the South 3-1 in the previous round to suggest a trip to the national stadium is on the cards.

The Govan outfit have won seven and drawn one of their last eight encounters with the Dark Blues who head into the match off the back of a 2-1 home victory over Ayr United at the weekend.

The Tayside club were relegated from the top-flight last season but will hope to clinch promotion at the first time of asking as they eye a quick return to Scottish football’s top tier.

Gary Bowyer’s men currently sit three points behind league leaders Partick Thistle at the summit but the odds are stacked against them against Rangers, with their last win coming in March 2001 at Ibrox.

What’s the team news ahead of Rangers vs Dundee?

Giovanni van Bronckhorst confirmed he will need to rotate his injury-hit squad for this match with striker Kemar Roofe named in the squad for the first time since May.

The Jamaican international has been on the sidelines since picking up an injury in the Europa League final and is is expected to be given his first minutes of the season from off the bench, while Alex Lowry is also close to rejoining the first-team after turning out for the club’s B team on Tuesday afternoon.

Van Bronckhorst played down suggestions that captain James Tavernier has been carrying an injury in recent weeks but Connor Goldson (thigh) and Ryan Jack (calf) are the latest names to visit the club’s treatment table.

They both join Filip Helander, Ianis Hagi, Glen Kamara and Tom Lawrence on the sidelines, with Jack ruled out for the rest of the year.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Van Bronckhorst said: “We need to balance the load of the players. The squad is smaller than we want because of the injuries we have and we need to be smart.

“Tavernier is fit, he is fine. Lowry is playing with the B-Team to give him minutes, he is close to a return to play with the first-team. Roofe is in the sqaud tomorrow, he is ready for minutes which we will try to give him.”

Dundee boss Gary Bowyer has no fresh injury worries and is likely to name his strongest starting XI. On loan AFC Wimbledon striker Zach Robinson will lead the line and French forward Derick Osei, signed earlier this month, could be handed a debut.

Centre-back Lee Ashcroft will be assessed before kick-off after sitting out of Saturday’s league win over Ayr United due to illness, while Cillian Sheridan is nursing a hamstring problem. Rangers loanee Ben Williamson is ineligible to face his parent club.
