Gers forget troubles with cup win

The home side started brightly without causing any real problems and it was Rangers who took the lead in the 16th minute when Steven Whittaker headed in John Fleck’s cross.

Dundee equalised in the 30th minute when Gary Harkins was fouled just outside the area by Jordan McMillan and Leigh Griffiths stepped up to send a superb curling effort past Neil Alexander.

The First Division side had chances to go ahead but Rangers reclaimed the lead after 57 minutes when Gary MacKenzie inadvertently nodded Whittaker’s cross into the back of his own net.

Fleck then put the seal on the win with five minutes to go after Nacho Novo embarked on a mazy run before cutting back for the youngster to slide home.
