Petrofac Cup; Rangers get Ayr United
Rangers have been drawn away to
Ayr United in the second round of the Petrofac Cup.
The draw, carried out today at
14:30 saw the Northern and Southern sections of the draw performed by former
Rangers midfielder Charlie Miller.
There were notions of Rangers
getting another clash with recently demoted Premiership side St Mirren, but instead
it will be a trip to Somerset
Park to face fellow
former Rangers midfielder Ian McCall’s League 1 outfit.
McCall’s side finished an
unconvincing 8th in the table last season, and will be far from
favourites for this tie, albeit they do have home advantage.
Rangers also entertained The
Honest Men at Murray
Park this pre-season and
managed a comfortable 2-0 victory.
Mark Warburton will certainly be
hoping for more of the same again, if not better and one cannot help wondering
if a Mr Scott Allan will have been secured by the time this tie is played.
