What channel is Rangers v Falkirk? TV and live stream plus team news, referee and VAR
Rangers head coach Danny Rohl will look to continue his 100 per cent winning record in the Scottish Premiership when his side host Falkirk on Sunday.
The German has steered Rangers to four consecutive league victories since taking over from the sacked Russell Martin last month, defeating Kilmarnock, Hibs, Dundee and Livingston. Despite this, Rangers sit fifth in the table, nine points behind leaders Hearts and five adrift of second-placed Celtic.
The Ibrox men return to domestic duty less than 72 hours after a disappointing 1-1 home draw against 10-man Braga in the Europa League with Rohl still searching for his first win in Europe.
Falkirk, meanwhile, are enjoying an excellent run of form with four wins in six and only one defeat – which came at Celtic Park – in their last seven matches.
John McGlynn’s men sit sixth, only two points behind Rangers in the standings, and claimed a 1-1 draw at Falkirk Stadium on October 5 – a result which brought an end to Martin’s Ibrox tenure.
The Scottish Premiership match takes place at Ibrox Stadium, Glasgow on Sunday, November 30, 2025. Kick-off is 2pm.
The match has not been selected for live TV coverage in the UK. Highlights will be shown on Sportscene on the BBC Scotland channel starting at 7.15pm on Sunday evening. The programme is repeated on BBC One Scotland at 11.50pm.
The match will be streamed live to viewers within the UK on Rangers TV. A pay-per-piew pass can be purchased for £9.99. Details can be found on the Rangers TV website.

Steven McLean has been appointed match referee. His assistant referees are David Roome and Colin Drummond. Andrew Dallas is in charge of VAR assisted by Duncan Nicolson .
However, the SFA did respond to Rangers’ claims about a penalty decision in a previous match against Celtic, stating that the handball call was subjective and the VAR didn’t deem it a clear and obvious error. The SFA also clarified that offside wouldn’t have been considered in the initial VAR decision ².
