Rangers will look to secure back-to-back league wins for the first time this season as they face Falkirk in the Scottish Premiership this Sunday (kick-off: 3pm).
A 94th-minute Max Aarons goal helped head coach Russell Martin record his first league victory of the season with a 2-1 win over Livingston last weekend, though the under-pressure head coach didn’t enjoy much respite, with his side tasting defeat for the fifth time already this season, losing 2-1 to Sturm Graz in the Europa League on Thursday.
Two wins in the last four have not taken the pressure off the Rangers head coach, and the pressure on his shoulders is high as they make the short journey to the Falkirk Stadium to face a side that sits second bottom of the table, with four points taken from their last four league games.
Martin has several decisions to make over his starting XI ahead of the game. Will Bojan Miovski replace the misfiring Youssef Chermiti? Does Aarons return in defence after last week’s late heroics? Bairns’ boss John McGlynn has selection concerns of his own, with five first-team players expected to miss the visit of the Gers, though he is able to call on Tom Lang, who is available again after a recent injury.
