This will be Falkirk’s first competitive meeting with Rangers since a 4-0 League Cup defeat in November 2020, first in the league since a 3-2 Championship win in March 2016, and first in the top flight since a 3-0 defeat in January 2010.
Rangers have lost both of their past two league visits to Falkirk, each in the Championship in 2015-16, while they have never lost three successive trips.
In the top flight, though, Rangers have lost just one of their past 45 games against the Bairns home and away (W38 D6), winning their latest 10 in a row since a 1-0 defeat in December 2006 under Paul Le Guen.
Falkirk are conceding an average of 2.0 goals per game in the Premiership this season (12 in six games), the most of any side.
Rangers are unbeaten in 29 league games against newly-promoted opponents, winning 26 (D3) since a 1-0 defeat at Livingston in September 2018.
Rangers haven’t lost any of their past 20 Scottish Premiership matches that have come the same weekend after a midweek European game (W15 D5) since going down 1-0 to Celtic in September 2023 under Michael Beale. Indeed, the Glasgow side are unbeaten in their past 49 Sunday league games immediately after a Europa League match (excluding qualifiers) on Thursday (W42 D7) since a 3-0 defeat to Celtic in February 2011 under Walter Smith.
