The Gers are looking to bounce back from a miserable week of results.

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard will be hoping that his side can return to form in their Scottish League Cup second round clash against Dunfermline Athletic on Friday night.

The Gers suffered three defeats in seven days last week after being dumped out of the Champions League by Swedish side Malmo and slipping up against Dundee United at Tannadice on Saturday afternoon.
