Rangers thump Celtic in B team derby blitz as unstoppable Alex Lowry runs the show

Alex Lowry was the star man for Rangers B as they thumped rivals Celtic 3-0 in the Lowland League derby.

More than 10,000 fans turned out for the clash in the Glasgow sunshine as the two Colt teams battled it out in pursuit of second spot.

Rangers went in trailing the Hoops by three points in fifth place but it took them just fifteen seconds to get in front.

Robbie Fraser and Ross McCausland combined for the opener with the latter driving forward down the right and powering an effort past Joshua Oluwayemi.

But that was only the start of the Celtic nightmare as Lowry popped up with a stunner from range to double the advantage on 15 minutes.

And it was three just eight minutes later with in-form Tony Weston getting in on the act and putting the game out of sight.

The win means Rangers Colts move level on points with the Hoops having played a game fewer.

Neither Glasgow team can catch runaway champions Bonnyrigg Rose but they are set to rejoin the Lowland League next season after successful debut campaigns in the fifth tier.

Rangers team: Hogarth; Devine, Fraser, King, McClelland, Lowry, McKinnon, Weston, McCann, McAusland

Celtic team: Oluwayemi; Dede, Mackenzie, Murray, Lawal, Carse, Dembele, Summers, Kenny, Moffat, Brooks
