Rangers are set for an extremely busy fixture schedule ahead of the World Cup shutdown with 13 games to be played in all competitions inside a six week period.
The Scottish Premiership will shutdown following the matches on November 12 as Qatar 2022 takes centre stage. A winter tournament means a packed out fixture card and for Giovanni van Bronckhorst and his Light Blues, it could be a make-or-break part of their 2022/23 campaign.
The Ibrox men will juggle their bid to win back the Premiership title from Celtic with the final four games of their Champions League section as they look to get off the mark at Europe's top table. A Premier Sports Cup quarter-final clash also falls in the hectic run of fixtures that begins this weekend on October 1 with an away trip to Tynecastle to face Hearts. The final game in the run before the league pause will see Rangers travel to St Mirren.
