Falkirk returned to the Scottish top flight after winning the Scottish Championship last term. They were playing in the third tier just two seasons ago, highlighting the progress made.
Rangers, for their part, have made a poor start to the campaign, compounded by their defeat in the Europa League. Manager Russell Martin is under immense pressure and anything other than victory against a newly-promoted side could be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back.
We are backing the visitors to claim a multi-goal victory with goals at both ends.
