Annan Athletic V Rangers - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.

Daly to star against Rangers Annan striker Michael Daly returns from injury for the biggest game ever played at Galabank against Rangers. Fellow frontman Graeme Bell will miss out due to a groin injury and midfielder Jack Steele is a doubt. Manager Harry Cairney said: "This is a wonderful occasion and we will look to do what Peterhead and Berwick have done by making the game a difficult one for Rangers. "It is the biggest game we have had since joining the SFL and we want to give a good account of ourselves. "Our revamped squad is gelling together closer each week but this will be a real test for them." Rangers have been dealt a blow ahead of the game against Annan with the news that Andy Little is out for the "foreseeable future". The striker, who has netted eight goals so far this season, is wearing a cast after a scan while on international duty with Northern Ireland revealed a possible stress fracture to his foot. Also missing for the trip to Galabank is Greek defender Anestis Argyriou, who has a hamstring injury. Boss Ally McCoist is keen to see an improvement after a 1-1 draw at Berwick in their last game on the road. He said: "We are all geared up for it and looking forward to it. We need a change in performance from the last away game, because we were really poor. "I think we will get a similar game to what we've had in most of the away games. I just hope we play a bit better than the last game. Maybe standing up and being counted is required in greater detail."
