While Rangers cannot complete a domestic treble this season, after losing 3-2 to St Mirren in the quarter-finals of the Scottish League Cup a little while back, and the league title already sewn up, their hopes of a double are very much still alive.
However, in reaction to the club’s update regarding the Cove Rangers tie on Twitter, fans of Rangers flocked to have their say on the matter, with many appearing angry by the rescheduling time of the fixture.
