What channel is St Johnstone v Rangers on? Kick-off time and TV details for Scottish Cup clash

The focus for Rangers manager Michael Beale is progressing to the last 16 as his side look to defend the cup won under previous boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst last season.

Beale said: “Wherever we go we have a fantastic support. It helped us massively up at Dundee United, it helped us again midweek at Kilmarnock. The most important thing is that Rangers are in the next round of the cup.”

St Johnsone manager Callum Davidson understands the anger of supporters in their ticket row with the club but hopes they get behind the team.

“If you are swithering about coming, I would love you to come and support the team," he said. “It is a huge game for us for this season. I do understand where the supporters are coming from. Can we stick together now and try to get something out of the game.”
