Rangers star fires starting gun on battle for Cup final places and promises teammates one thing about Hampden showpiece

Rangers full-back James Penrice has urged his teammates to push for starting spots ahead of their upcoming cup final against Hibernian on December 13. Penrice highlighted that competition will intensify as injured players such as Lawrence Shankland and Cammy Devlin return to the squad, following Derek McInnes' side securing their final berth with a semi-final win over Aberdeen courtesy of Ryan Naderi's late goal.

Penrice, who is currently on loan from AEK Athens and reportedly set to make the move permanent for £800,000 next summer, stated that reaching the final justified his return to Scotland. He set up Naderi's winner against the Dons and emphasized that Rangers must avoid complacency against Hibs as manager McInnes pursues his first silverware at the club.
