We said: Rangers 3-1 Raith Rovers

Trailing Celtic by nine points with just 10 Premiership games to play, there is even more importance on the cup for Rangers as Beale desperately tries to avoid a trophyless debut campaign. Rangers may not need extra motivation to defeat a second-tier side at home but they certainly have it, which does not bode well for Raith Rovers this Sunday. Read more.
