Rangers vs Raith Rovers Predictions

I expect Raith’s back line to collapse early at Ibrox Park on Sunday. Rangers to score in both halves is a banker bet, James Tavernier to score anytime is value.

Head to Head

Rangers have a 13-2 advantage against Raith Rovers with 3 draws in 18 games.

The most recent head to head encounter ended in a 3-3 draw in April 2016.

Rangers Form

Results improved for Glasgow Rangers after appointing Michael Beale as the new head manager in late 2022. The Gers have won 11 of their 13 games played this year.

Team spirits were crushed after another loss to Celtic on 26th February in the League Cup (1-2). They bounced back with two dominant victories versus Kilmarnock (3-1) and Hibernian (4-1).

Rangers won the FA Cup last year by defeating Hearts (2-0) in the grand final. As for the 2022/23 campaign, they eliminated St Johnstone and Partick Thistle before reaching the quarter-finals.

Rangers Team News

Nnamdi Ofoborh, Filip Helander, Johan Souttar, Tom Lawrence, and Steven Davis are out due to injuries.

Raith Rovers Form

Raith Rovers have made it to the FA Cup quarter-finals thanks to a surprising 3-1 victory against Motherwell. Before that, they eliminated Auchinleck Talbot (3-0) and Linlithgow Rose (2-0).

James Gullan and Aidan Connolly scored three goals each so far in this competition.

The Rovers are not playing an important role in this year’s Scottish Championship, sitting in 7th place without realistic chances to fight for promotion.

Raith Rovers Team News

Scott McGill is not eligible to make an appearance on Sunday at Ibrox.

Verdict

Rangers v Raith

All signs are pointing in direction of a one-sided affair in favor of Rangers. They can score in both halves against the underdogs from the tier two division. James Tavernier is also backed to score.
