Petrofac Training Cup on Tuesday

The two remaining ties in the first round of the Petrofac Training Cup go ahead on Tuesday evening.

The two remaining ties in the first round of the Petrofac Training Cup go ahead on Tuesday evening.

Rangers and Hibernian meet at Ibrox in a game that is live on BBC ALBA with a 7.35pm kick-off.

It is the first competitive match of 2014/15 for both clubs, who kick off their Championship campaigns this weekend. Ally McCoist's side begin at home to Hearts on Sunday – live on Sky Sports at 1.30pm – while Alan Stubbs’ team start against Livingston at Easter Road on Saturday.

A second-round tie at home to Barry Ferguson's Clyde is the reward on offer for the winners.

Tuesday's other tie sees holders Raith Rovers begin the defence of the trophy with a trip to Fife rivals Dunfermline, who they knocked out in the second round last season.

The match was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch on Saturday July 26 and both teams go into the rearranged fixture on the back of League Cup victories at the weekend - the Pars beat Annan 5-1 and Rovers saw off Forfar 4-2 after extra time.

The winners will be at home to Falkirk in the second round on Tuesday August 19.
