Dumbarton vs Rangers injury news: 5 out and 7 doubtful for Scottish Cup clash

Teams from all levels of the Scottish pyramid compete in the Scottish Cup, which was established in 1873 and is one of the oldest domestic cup tournaments in history.

The Scottish Cup has a history of causing some surprise upsets, so 34-time champion Rangers will be hoping to avoid one when they travel to face Scottish League Two promotion contenders Dumbarton, who have only once before experienced success in this competition back in 1883.

Since 1985, Dumbarton has not participated in the premier league, and their team lacks the financial resources of its Glasgow rivals. Being among the most established clubs in Scottish football, they have every incentive to put up a great show for their 2,000 fans.

Rangers, meanwhile, will want to get one step closer to defending the trophy they last won in 2022. Rangers has already tasted victory in the League Cup this season.
