After their draining Champions League exit at the hands of Malmo, Rangers have the chance to restore some pride and confidence with a Premier Sports Cup tie at home to Dunfermline.
Three defeats on the bounce have Steven Gerrard's team reeling - they've already lost more games in 90 minutes this season than they did in the entirety of 2020/21.
But the boss has insisted his players are a resilient bunch and he'll want them to prove that when the Pars travel to Ibrox.
The Championship side are coming up against a wounded animal but it's likely to be a heavily rotated Rangers team from the one that crashed and burned against Malmo.
Kemar Roofe and Glen Kamara are likely to come back in after missing both Malmo games with suspension while there could be a second competitive start for Fashion Sakala if he overcomes a knock in time.
A rare defensive start for Jack Simpson could be in line while Jon McLaughlin seems likely to return between the sticks - he's been their domestic keeper so far.
