Spartans will need to perform at their absolute peak and hope for some luck to achieve a positive outcome against Rangers.
Elsewhere in the league, Aberdeen will host Glasgow City, who are aiming to recover from a narrow opening-day loss to Celtic.

Celtic will welcome Montrose, while Partick Thistle hosts Hibs, who secured a commanding 7-0 victory over Motherwell last weekend.
