Rangers 3 Raith Rovers 0 as holders advance, Beale shows faith again - 3 things we learned

Rangers have reached the last four of the Scottish Cup after victory over Raith Rovers at Ibrox.

Michael Beale's men are the holders of the famous old trophy and they are now just two games away from lifting the big prize once again after seeing off Ian Murray's Scottish Championship outfit in the last eight. Connor Goldson's bullet header opened the scoring three minutes before half-time after Jamie MacDonald had denied the hosts on a couple of occasions. Ryan Nolan then had a moment to forget as he turned home James Tavernier's low cross just before the hour to double the advantage before sub Scott Arfield wrapped things up in the final minutes.

Celtic and Inverness have already joined the Light Blues in the hat for the semi-final draw with one of Falkirk or Ayr United joining them to complete the line-up for the Hampden showdowns. It's a trophy Beale and his troops are desperate to retain after League Cup Final disappointment at the national stadium against Celtic while they face a tall order in the Premiership with nine points between themselves and Ange Postecoglou's side at the summit with ten games to go. Here's three things we learned as Rangers run out comfortable winners.
