Last season Rangers managed to reach the semi-final of the Scottish League Cup where they were knocked out by Hibernian, and this time around the Gers will be looking to go one step further.
Their campaign begins on Tuesday, and they are heading into this one with a lot of confidence as the team are undefeated in seven games across all competitions.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst saw his team defeat Ross County by four goals to nil on Saturday with goals from John Lundstrum, Steve Davis, and a brace from Antonio Colak.
The Gers are currently top of the Scottish Premiership, and the performances that they have shown have helped to build confidence in the squad.
Rangers have only conceded three goals in the league so far while also scoring 14 times, bringing quality at both ends of the field as they prepare for this match.
Queen of the South will be coming into this game as the obvious underdogs due to the fact they are a Scottish League One team, but that will not stop them from trying to cause an upset.
The squad won three of their four group games, but that was not enough to win it, as they only qualified because they were one of the best runners-up.

Queen of the South also ended up with 10 men to make matters worse as Paul McKay ended up being sent off, showcasing the need for more composure in midweek
