THE trip to Bellslea Park to face Fraserburgh on Sunday is a tricky one for Rangers but it is all about the attitude of the players come kick-off.

Rangers can’t go up there and take it for granted because they will have been thinking about this match since the draw was made and they will be fired up.

If Rangers aren’t up for it, it will be a far more difficult afternoon. Go out, do what you have to do and get through to the next round.

One of the cup games that sticks out for me is when we played Forfar at Station Park.

It was a tight ground and their players had been out working all week, and some of them even in the morning before the match.

Until you get the first goal, or even the second goal, you can’t really relax because you never know what can happen in these games. I think we eventually won 7-0.

All my brothers had come to the stadium because it was only a few miles from Dundee and after the game we were going for a beer, well I was having a soda water and lime, and we were walking down the main street in Forfar.

There was an old man on the corner with his dog and he says ‘where you at the game, lads?’ and I reply ‘yes, sir, we were at the game’.

He asks what the score was and we tell him it was 7-0. And he says ‘who for?’ and we all burst out laughing.

That was one of the first places that I went and it was certainly different from playing at Ibrox. The most important thing was, as always, was winning the game, though.

We were 100 per cent concentrated on the match and we never went there thinking ‘we have just got to turn up and we will win’.

Big Jock would get that into your head. It was eleven of them against eleven of us and we had to go out there and show we were better.

The only way that would happens was if we had the right attitude and every manager will say that to his team. I am sure Graeme will say the same on Sunday.
