Rangers' quest for major silverware continues on Sunday with a trip to Ayr United in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup.

Facing lower league opposition is always a banana skin, especially one which is having a good season relative to their aims when it all kicked off in August. Ayr are currently second in League One, pushing for promotion against the likes of Raith Rovers and Arbroath.

They're dreaming of a famous cup upset and it's on Rangers to produce the kind of professional performance that will ensure progression into the quarter-finals of the competition.

After a strong January transfer window, Light Blues boss Graeme Murty has a number of options to choose from for the match and it's a good opportunity for some of their new signings to impress.

These are the THREE selection calls that Rangers must make...

Greg Docherty

Greg Docherty was one of the signings in January that excited Rangers fans most but they haven't yet seen what he can do on the pitch from the start of the match.

There have been calls for him to selected for matches against Ross County, Fraserburgh, Hibernian and Partick Thistle but thus far he's been limited to just 39 minutes of action across the four encounters.

A match against League One opposition is a good platform for him to show what he can do in the middle of the park. Rangers have been crying out for a central midfielder than provide drive and creativity towards the final third and Docherty could be that man having directly contributed to nine Hamilton goals this season.

It's time for Rangers fans to see what he has to offer.

Jason Cummings

Jason Cummings is already proving popular with supporters since joining on loan from Nottingham Forest, despite managing just a single goal in his five appearances so far.

Only two of those appearances were starts however and he deserves the chance to show what he can do in the Scottish Cup after hard working performances up to this point.

Supporters have bemoaned the lack of chances created by his teammates for the striker but perhaps the introduction of Greg Docherty can help relieve that problem if the two play together.

There's also the option of playing him as part of a two-man attack with Alfredo Morelos, which we've seen little of so far.

Cummings has a strong record in the Scottish Cup to this point, scoring five times in seven appearances for Hibs in the competition, also helping lift the trophy in 2016.

Andy Halliday

Andy Halliday's Rangers career looked all but over last summer when he was shipped out on loan under Pedro Caixinha, but has been involved in Graeme Murty's plans since his return last month.

He got a full 90 minutes against Fraserbrugh in the last round of the Scottish Cup and came off the bench to replace Declan John against Partick Thistle mid-week.

John is again a doubt for this weekend's clash and Halliday is the best option to replace him at left-back with the continued absence of Lee Wallace.

The boyhood Rangers fans has played at left-back on multiple occasions for Middlesbrough and Blackpool in the past is more than adequate cover for the challenge of Ayr United.

Can he prove himself in a new role at the Light Blues, enhancing his value to Graeme Murty in the months ahead?
