Rangers v Dundee Utd preview

Team news ahead of Sunday's Scottish Cup fifth-round clash between Rangers and Dundee United at Ibrox (kick-off 12.15pm).

Rangers have no fresh injury worries ahead of the game and Ally McCoist is hopeful that Kyle Lafferty (torn hamstring) and Steven Whittaker (hernia operation) will both be back in action in the next two or three weeks.

Steven Naismith, Kirk Broadfoot, Jamie Ness and Kane Hemmings also remain on the sidelines ahead of Sunday's fifth-round clash at Ibrox.

Dundee United, meanwhile, will be without Danny Swanson.

The midfielder has returned to Tannadice after going to England to receive sugar injections in his knee but a lack of training means he will not be risked at Ibrox.

Peter Houston will add new signing Milos Lacny to his squad, although he is likely to start on the bench. Scott Severin (knee) and Felipe Mentel (knee) are long-term absentees.

Rangers (from): McGregor, Papac, Bocanegra, Wallace, Goian, Bartley, Davis, Aluko, Edu, McCulloch, Wylde, Celik, Healy, Kerkar, McCabe, Alexander, Little, Bedoya.

Dundee United (from): Pernis, Dillon, Gunning, Neilson, Kenneth, Watson, Dixon, Douglas, Armstrong, S Robertson, Ryan, Flood, Mackay-Steven, Rankin, Russell, Lacny, Daly, Dow, Banks.
