Rangers team news

Rangers enter this fixture just days after progressing to the UEFA Champions League play-off round despite a defeat to Viktoria Plzen. With the club adjusting to new manager Russell Martin’s style and several summer arrivals bedding in, consistency has been elusive. Their last five matches have included a 1-2 loss to Plzen, a 1-1 home draw with Dundee, and an impressive 3-0 win over Plzen in the first leg. 

There are minor knocks in the squad, but most regulars are available. Some rotation is expected, with fringe players likely to be given minutes in light of a demanding schedule and the Team's focus on the Champions League. There are no reports of significant new injury absences.

Alloa Athletic team news

Alloa Athletic, meanwhile, arrive at Ibrox on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Stranraer in the Scottish Challenge Cup, following positive early-season form that included league wins over East Fife and Stenhousemuir. They’ve demonstrated attacking energy in cup competitions but lack the defensive depth of the hosts. 

No major injury concerns have been reported, and manager Andy Graham is expected to field as strong a lineup as possible. The group features a mix of regulars and some younger talent benefiting from loan arrangements - potentially including Rangers youth players under the new cooperation agreement.
