Preview: Cowdenbeath vs. Rangers

Sports Mole previews the Scottish Championship match between Rangers and Cowdenbeath.

Rangers will be hoping to close the gap to league leaders Hearts when they travel to Cowdenbeath in the Scottish Championship this weekend.

It has been another turbulent week off the pitch for Rangers this week, with fans breaking into Ibrox in a protest. Caretaker manager Kenny McDowall offered to resign, while Sandy Easdale has increased his stake in the club.

Despite the distractions, Rangers' form in the league has been strong recently, with four wins in their last six matches leaving them 13 points adrift of the league leaders.

The visitors will be without Arnold Peralta, as he left the club earlier this week, but have reported no injuries following their brief, snow-affected trip to Edinburgh last week.

Meanwhile, Cowdenbeath will be hoping to end a run of four matches without a win to put more distance between themselves and the relegation zone.

The home side currently sit eighth in the table, seven points clear of bottom side Livingston, who have played fewer games.

Robbie Buchanan could make his first start for the side, having joined on loan from Hearts for the remainder of the season last weekend.

However, Iain Campbell, who has made nine appearances this campaign, has gone out on loan until February 14, so he will miss this match.

Rangers sealed a 1-0 win when these two sides met in December.

Cowdenbeath:

Form in Scottish Championship: WLLLDL
Form in all competitions: WLLLDL

Possible starting lineup: Thomson, Miller, O'Brien, Wedderburn, Halsman, Robertson, Milne, Hughes, Marshall, Buchanan, Oyenuga

Rangers:

Form in Scottish Championship: WLWLWW

Sports Mole says: 0-1
