Ryan Christie’s left-footed free-kick from just outside the box brushes the side-netting in the game’s first real chance. A real close one for the man who’s racked up eight goals already this season.
Cowdenbeath 0-1 Rangers
Jason Talbot limped back on after the first goal but had to limp off again straight away. Harvey Swann is the replacement for the home side.

Tommy Wright wasn’t free to chat to us pre-match because he was “on the phone”, so maybe some wheeling and dealing in the transfer market being done?

Almost a second goal for the visitors as Daniel Candeias charges down an attempted clearance from David McGurn. The ball is deflected wide in the penalty box and the Portuguese winger can't find space to get in a shot to embarrass the goalie.
Andy Halliday
A great turn and hit from Andy Halliday as the makeshift left-back cracks in the first goal of the evening from 25 yards.

Cowdenbeath 0-0 Rangers
Cowdenbeath defender Jason Talbot ushers the ball out of play in front of Kyle Lafferty and gets a wee shove on the back, which sends him tumbling. He lands awkwardly on his knee and is in a bit of distress. The home side go on with 10 men for now...
Cowdenbeath 0-0 Rangers
David McGurn win the oldies' race as he comes haring off his line to gather a long ball at the edge of his penalty just ahead of Rangers striker Jermain Defoe.
Celtic 0-0 St Johnstone
Celtic have been in talks to sign Ukraine international Maryan Shved from Karpaty Lviv and the winger is in the crowd this evening to take in the match against St Johnstone.
Not much to get the 21-year-old excited yet...

A much-changed Rangers are finding it hard to establish any kind of rhythm on the bumpy pitch, with several passes going astray already.

Quote MessageCowdenbeath have started very brightly. I think Gary Bollan is doing exactly what he wanted - committing players forward. So far very a very positive start from Cowdenbeath.
The action is up and running in Cowdenbeath and Glasgow...

Jermain Defoe makes his second start for Rangers this evening. The former England striker is already off the mark but he might be wondering about the state of the pitches up here.
He's experienced the widely disparaged artificial turf at Killie and Livi and now he's getting a taste of life in the lower league's on the notoriously heavy surface at Central Park, which gets damaged when the odd stock car spins off the track surrounding it. Yes, that's right, stock cars...

Cowdenbeath manager Gary Bollan on Sportsound
"For the players its’ a great occasion. They’ll go out and give it their best shot. That’s all I can ask from them - to play to the best of their ability - maximum effort and maximum commitment and see how they get on.
"They give us it every week so I’m sure I’ll get it tonight. The big thing for them is that they go out and enjoy themselves t because it’s a big occasion for them and it’s a big occasion for the football club.
"These players have prepared well. They should want to play in this type of game week in week out. For them to have the challenge of playing against the quality that Rangers have got. I’m sure they’ll enjoy it.
"Cup ties throughout there’s always upsets.If we can manage one tonight it will be one tremendous upset."

That's four starts in a row for Celtic goalkeeper Scott Bain, who has conceded just one goal in nine games this season.
Craig Gordon made a series of excellent saves in his last outing, a 1-0 defeat at Ibrox on 29 December.
But does Brendan Rodgers prefer Bain's distribution from the back? I'm sure the boss would say it was one of those "good problems".

St Johnstone did some very good work during the week, persuading Jason Kerr to sign a new deal.
The 21-year-old has been an established starter at McDiarmid Park for a year now and has played a key role in helping his side keep 14 clean sheets in all competitions this season.
Barnsley were apparently sniffing around but the young centre-half won't be moving on anytime soon.

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard on RangersTV: "There'll be a few changes in the line-up but I'll certainly pick a team that's strong enough to get the job done.
"We played with aggression and intensity [against Livingston] and we defended almost perfectly."

Cowdenbeath v Rangers (19:45)
Cowdenbeath boss Gary Bollan was part of the BBC Sportsound commentary team on Sunday as Rangers swept Livingston aside.
He might not have had much sleep that night since Steven Gerrard's men turned on the style in West Lothian and really should have scored more than the three goals they managed.
It was only Livi's third home defeat of the season and the first by more than a single goal.

St Johnstone pushed Celtic hard when the clubs met in the League Cup this season, with the eventual trophy winners needing a late goal from Leigh Griffiths to progress.
However, it was a very different story just 10 days later when they met in the league at McDiarmid Park, with James Forrest running riot, banging in four first-half goals in a 6-0 rout.

It wasn't that long ago that these two were divisional rivals. Rangers will hope to improve on their last visit to Central Park, a Championship fixture which ended goalless in March 2015.
Rangers won the other three meetings that season and thumped Cowdenbeath 5-1 in the Scottish Cup at Ibrox in 2016.

What do you mean you've not been playing close attention to Cowdenbeath's form this season?
The Blue Brazil sit seventh in League Two. Not great but a significant improvement on the last place finishes of the past two seasons.
The part-time hosts already have more points in the bag this season than they managed across the entirety of the last campaign and they are 17 clear of poor old Albion Rovers at the foot of the table.
