ROSS MacIVER admits he would've found it comical to consider playing Rangers in a Premiership TV clash two years ago.

Now he's desperate to help Falkirk post a statement topflight success and prove they can hang with the big boys.

The striker signed up for a League One campaign with Bairns after leaving Alloa in summer 2023. Boss John McGlynn told Maclver he had plans to take Falkirk back up the divisions.

The 26-year-old played just eight Premiership games in two seasons for Motherwell six years ago.

So he’s relishing the chance to tackle Russell Martin's Euro-weary Rangers tomorrow.

Maclver said: “Ifyou told me when I joined I'd be playing Rangers on a Sunday after two years then I'd probably have laughed my head off.

“With everything we've been through together asa team it’s quite remarkable.
