Rangers could be set for a gruelling away run with seven of their next nine Premiership matches taking place on the road...if they reach the Betfred Cup Final.
With the home clash with St Johnstone postponed already due to the semi-final against Hearts, Rangers are also scheduled to be at Ibrox a day before the Final on December 8.
Ross County are set to be the visitors on that occasion but if Steven Gerrard 's side are victorious against Hearts at Hampden on November 3, the game will be rearranged for a later date.
Starting with Hearts in the first game after the international break, Rangers are poised to play nine league matches before Christmas and seven of those would be away from home.
There are trips to Pittodrie to face Aberdeen, Easter Road to take on Hibs and another showdown with Livingston on their synthetic pitch.
Last season, Rangers dropped 25 points on their travels with defeats to Celtic (twice), Kilmarnock (twice) and Livingston as well as draws against Aberdeen, Motherwell, Dundee and Hibs (twice).
That makes this run of fixtures huge for Gerrard although his side have claimed nine points from nine in away ties against Kilmarnock, St Mirren and St Johnstone so far this season.
Even if Rangers don't make the Betfred Cup Final and the clash with Ross County isn't postponed, it would still make it seven out of the next 10 away from home.
