Rangers tie 'surreal' for Fraserburgh

Fraserburgh manager says the prospect of facing Rangers is "a bit surreal".

"It's something many, many at our level only dream of," Cowie told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland.

"We've got quite a few in the club who are Rangers supporters, so for them it truly is a dream come true, but we're just humbled to have been given this opportunity. Like I said, just to be in the draw, but to pull out a tie such as that one it's going to be incredible.

"It'll be rewarding in so many ways, obviously financially, it'll be great for a club and give us a boost during these difficult times, but also in terms of memories, this tie will create for players, supporters and the like. It's truly got to be a great occasion for the club."

With almost seven weeks to go until the trip to Ibrox, Cowie says Fraserburgh will "have to try and keep a lid on it" with Highland League and Aberdeenshire Shield games to come first.

"The Rangers game is a bit away yet, we've got some league games and cup games that we want to do well in beforehand," he added.

"We haven't been together since, so there will be a bit of excitement, but we've got a good group, so hopefully we'll manage to focus on tonight's game [against Keith] and put the Rangers game to the side slightly."
