Bet on Rangers FC vs Annan Athletic on Football

Rangers FC are strongly favored to beat Annan Athletic in this Scottish Cup tie, with typical early market odds likely around 1.10–1.15 for Rangers and 15.00+ for Annan based on the gulf between the Premiership title contenders and a League 2 mid-table side; Rangers’ superior squad depth and home advantage make an upset highly unlikely with DexWin - Best Odds on Your Favourite Sports.

The match between Rangers FC and Annan Athletic in the Scottish Cup is scheduled to kick off at 7:45 PM local time on 16 January 2026, which corresponds to 7:45 PM GMT as Scotland operates on Greenwich Mean Time in January.

This Scottish Cup fixture will be played at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow, the home of Rangers FC, a historic all-seater ground with a capacity of just over 50,000 and known for its steep stands and intense atmosphere that often provides a significant home-field edge.

Given Rangers’ dominant recent home form against lower-league opposition and Annan Athletic’s status as a League 2 side with a negative goal difference this season, a comfortable Rangers win by at least a two- or three-goal margin is the most probable outcome, with handicap markets (Rangers -2 or -2.5) likely offering more attractive odds than the short home moneyline.

Rangers FC and Annan Athletic have had very few competitive meetings in their history, and when they have met in cup competitions Rangers have won by convincing scorelines, underlining the clear historical head-to-head advantage held by the Glasgow side going into this 2026 Scottish Cup clash.
