Rangers play in the Evo-Stik Premier and will hope to pull off a second victory of the season against a National League North team, after beating Tamworth in the FA Cup in September.

Also in the third qualifying round, Stourbridge will make the trip to Bradford Park Avenue.

Kidderminster Harriers are at Boston United while Hednesford Town – if they beat Cleethorpes Town in a second qualifying round replay on Wednesday night – will host Spennymoor Town.
