Rangers 1 Fraserburgh 0 LIVE as Clement's men left frustrated with narrow lead at break

The romance of the cup is in the air in Govan as Rangers roll out the red carpet for Highland League side Fraserburgh.

Philippe Clement's side were beaten in the final of the tournament last season when they lost a heartbreaking last-gasp goal to rivals Celtic at Hampden Park.

Now they start their bid to return, having also lost to the Hoops in the Premier Sports Cup earlier this season.

For their opponents it's simply a dream tie having hosted the Light Blues in the Scottish Cup seven years ago.

Next up for Rangers after taking on Fraserburgh is a trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United in the Europa League. Could there be any bigger contrast in successive games?

But Clement and Co can't turn their gaze towards the Premier League giants too soon or risk the biggest ever Scottish Cup in history.

The Belgian could look to introduce Ianis Hagi or Hamza Igamane to give his team some much needed spark.

However, with Thursday's Battle of Britain clash with Manchester United in the Europa League just around the corner, Clement is more likely to hand minutes to youngsters Bailey Rice and Findlay Curtis.

The first 45 minutes at Govan come to an end.

The hosts have the lead but Clement won't be overly happy with how his side have performed so far and will be expecting them to up their levels in the second
