Overview
- The Scottish Premiership match kicks off at 8pm BST on Wednesday, 2 September at Falkirk Stadium and is shown live on Sky Sports Football.
- Rangers arrive under pressure after being knocked out of the UEFA Conference League by FK Jablonec on penalties and sit five points behind Celtic, with manager Derek McInnes serving the first of a two-game touchline suspension.
- Key Rangers absentees include Youssef Chermiti who is recovering from a serious cruciate ligament injury, Tuur Rommens with a groin problem and Jose Cifuentes who has had recent surgery, while midfielder Nico Raskin has been left out amid transfer speculation.
- Falkirk have one point from three league games and face a severe injury crisis that rules out several first-team players, though captain Brad Spencer is available and Ben Parkinson is expected to lead the attack.
- Bookmakers make Rangers clear favourites and tipsters expect a low-scoring game, with many markets and previews favouring a Rangers win and totals under 3.5 or under 2.5 goals.
