Hamilton forward Louis Longridge: "It could go either way - it just depends what kind of Rangers turn up.
"They had a disappointing result in the Old Firm and will be looking to bounce back.
"But at the same time that kind of game will have taken a lot out of them. We can't really look to much to them. Instead we need to focus on ourselves."
Rangers left-back Declan John: "You can look at points, but the football we have played at times has been pretty good.
"It's just the difference in the two boxes, trying to keep a clean sheet and trying to score more goals.
"I think in anything it takes time, it doesn't come easy and straightforward. It will take time but we have a good group of boys here.
"It is such a massive club and especially with the fans - you're expected to win every game and we expect to win every game as well.
"Some of the results haven't gone our way."
