Steven Gerrard will face his old Liverpool coach Steve Clarke when Rangers take on Kilmarnock in the second round of the Scottish League Cup.

Clarke and Gerrard worked together when the Kilmarnock boss was number two at Anfield six years ago.

Last season, Kilmarnock beat Rangers twice in the Scottish Premiership League with Kris Boyd scoring three goals against his former club.

Elsewhere, league champions Celtic have drawn the Scottish Championship's Partick Thistle with Brendan Rodgers' side travelling to Firhill Stadium for the tie.

The two sides have met once before in the competition with Celtic knocking out Thistle in a 6-0 win in the third round.
