Footymad preview History of the Rangers v Clyde fixture

Clyde travel to take on Rangers at Ibrox on Wednesday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 59 out of 77 times.

The last time the two teams met at Rangers was back in September 2005, over five years ago, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 5-2 thriller, in an Scottish League Cup match.
