Our view

Gateshead's recent run makes grim reading, and Rangers come into the replay having competed well away from home, with manager Graham Deakin saying he was disappointed not to win. A packed Marston Road adds to the occasion for the eighth-tier hosts.

Most likely outcome: home win - Gateshead's poor scoring form and Rangers' home crowd point that way.
