And it’s probably no surprise that the Highland League side are available at a massive 18/1 to win the match. Rangers are rated 1/25 favourites, while the draw is on offer at 8/1. “This tie is sure to get cup romantics’ engines racing,” said William Hill’s Tony Kenny. “Rangers are the red-hot favourites, but it is a two-horse race – and anything can happen.”
