It’s crunch time in the Premier Sports Cup with all four quarter-final ties being across this weekend.
One mouth-watering tie sees Rangers take on Hibs at Ibrox in a game being held on the backdrop of serious fan anger among the Light Blues support.
Rangers ultras the Union Bears have revealed plans for a major protest against under-fire boss Russell Martin and chief executive Patrick Stewart before the game.
The Gers’ US supremo Andrew Cavenagh is also jetting-in to take control of a seemingly ever-growing crisis at Ibrox – and he’s already given besieged Martin his backing.
Gers fans want the head coach out amid a desperate start to the Premiership campaign, with the Light Blues failing to win any of their first five league matches for the first time in 47 years.
Rangers’ only domestic win under Martin came at the round 16 stage of this competition when they unconvincingly got past third-tier Alloa last month.
Hibs themselves have won just won of their four league matches this season, drawing the other three.
So something has to give on what’s sure to be an intriguing clash at Ibrox.
