Arbroath will offer Rangers more than just smokies when the two teams meet in the Scottish Cup fourth-round tie at Gayfield. The part-timers, managed by 37-year-old player-manager Paul Sheerin, have been praised for their slick passing game. After winning last season's Third Division title, their first-ever major trophy, they are now challenging for a second successive promotion. Gavin Swankie, their striker, who is back at his hometown club for a third spell, says that Rangers will not be relishing the prospect. The match will be broadcast live across Britain, with Sky Sports paying Arbroath £82,500 for the privilege. Arbroath have done a splendid job sprucing up their tidy little home, which now boasts a couple of smart hospitality suites. The structure remains unchanged, as do the famous elements that batter its exposed location. When nearly 6,000 cram inside for the visit of Rangers, it will be like old times on the Angus coast. Arbroath's history includes the famous 36-0 defeat of Bon Accord, a cricket team somehow admitted to the 1885 Scottish Cup. The first of two celebrated wins against Rangers was the year before, when Arbroath recovered from 3-0 down to beat them 4-3 at Gayfield. John Fletcher, who scored two goals in Arbroath's 3-2 league win at Ibrox in 1974, will be a special guest at Gayfield. Fletcher recalls the day in detail, from the smokies that he had for breakfast to the dressing-rooms that were like nothing he had seen before. The match programme from that day hangs on a wall, framed and signed by Albert Henderson, Billy Pirie, and John Fletcher. Arbroath are looking to cause an upset against Rangers, who are 22 places above them in the league hierarchy. The part-timers will be relying on their home advantage and the tight park to create chances. If they can hold out early doors, they will definitely give Rangers a game. The wind and the exposed location of Gayfield could also play a factor in the match. Arbroath's players are confident that they can cause an upset, and they will be looking to make the most of their opportunity.
