Rangers made seven changes from the draw with Benfica on Thurday for Steven Gerrard’s first visit to Falkirk.

Staying in the side were James Tavernier, Conor Goldson, Borna Barisic and Scott Arfield for the trip to his former club.

Filip Helander was announced as a positive covid-19 test recipient and missed out.

@OhItsSteely: “Just keep our smile going Rangers.”

@levi_stubbs: “Glad we picked a strong team. Trophy is there to be won. Show Falkirk the respect they deserve.

@john_drybey: “Good strong team but that follows as we have strength in depth. Win, nothing else matters.”

Cristian Rupe: “It’s your time Hagi to shine like a star and score three time, in the first 45 minutes.”

@lough_9: “Hagi getting a shot in the middle instead of wide.

@rosscurrie971: “Nice to see a mixture of new and experienced players. A cup game is perfect for this!”

@gemma38821090: “Expected Tav and Goldson to be rested, but I don’t mind, might not want to kill their momentum.”

David Smith: “Wish we would rest Tav and Goldson. We’re playing too many games for them to perform their best and the squads good enough for us to do it. No need to play them in games like today.”

@AlexMacIver: “I love that the defence is still just as strong with only one change.”

@Peter_luyolo: “Proud of the boy Bongani Zungu on his first start”

John Paton: “All the South Africa fans will be happy. I expect three goals from zungu today.”

@BrianGillan5: “Surprised not to see Barjonas.”

Gordon Lawrie: “I just hope there’s no complacency. A lot of weird results this round Don’t want to end up the same as them.
