Russell Martin’s men are overwhelming favourites to progress, but with a busy fixture schedule ahead, squad rotation is expected.
Rangers’ depth, however, means any changes are unlikely to slow them down, especially at home where they’ve been ruthless in early-round cup ties.
Alloa, meanwhile, come into this game with nothing to lose. Andy Graham’s side have made a positive start to their league campaign and will view this as a chance to test themselves against one of the best in the country.
Rangers v Alloa tips
• Rangers to win & over 4.5 goals – 1/1 with Bet365
• Both teams to score (most booking points) – 6/5 with Bet365
• Halftime/Fulltime – Rangers/Rangers – 1/4 with Bet365
Rangers to win & over 4.5 goals
Rangers have been free-scoring at Ibrox, particularly in domestic cup matches where they tend to dominate possession and create a flood of chances.
Against lower-league opposition, they’ve often scored goals for fun, and with attacking options like Cyriel Dessers and Djeidi Gassama, this could get ugly for Alloa.
Backing Rangers to win while clearing seeing at least five goals scored is a real possibility which offers strong value.
Tip: Rangers to win & over 4.5 goals @1/1
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Rangers beat Alloa and at least five goals are scored in the match.
Both teams to score
While Rangers are expected to dominate, Alloa come into this one in good scoring form in their league and cup games with the League One side scoring in every game this season.
With Rangers potentially making defensive changes, there’s a slim but realistic chance the Wasps could nick a consolation goal, just as other lower-league sides have managed in recent Ibrox cup ties.
Bet explanation: Wins if Rangers and Alloa both score at least one goal in the match.
Halftime/Fulltime – Rangers/Rangers
Rangers are expected to come out of the blocks quickly, especially in front of the Ibrox crowd. Against lower-league opposition, they have a habit of killing games early and maintaining control right through to the final whistle.
Backing Rangers to be ahead at both halftime and fulltime offers a safer, lower-odds option of 1/4 o Bet365 for those looking for a banker selection.
With the attacking depth and high press of Martin's side, Alloa could find themselves chasing shadows from the first whistle.
Tip: Halftime/Fulltime – Rangers/Rangers @1/4
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Rangers are leading at halftime and go on to win the match after fulltime.
