A much-changed Rangers side cruised into the Scottish Cup quarter-finals with a commanding 3-0 win over Annan Athletic at Galabank.
Fit-again defender Filip Helander headed in the Gers' opener after seven minutes before attackers Kemar Roofe and Fashion Sakala added further goals in the first half to end any hopes of the League Two side providing a shock.
Annan manager Peter Murphy had said the Light Blues would have "failed" if they did not put four or five goals past his side but it may well have been that and more as Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side negotiated the foul weather and artificial pitch as well as a battling home side with consummate professionalism.
