00:00Thank very much Emma, this competition in its 80th year but this is just the second meeting
00:05between Allo Athletic and Rangers, the previous one coming in round three in 1998, Rangers 4-0
00:16winners here, goals from Lorenzo Amoruso, Barry Ferguson and a double from Jörg Alberts
00:23in all 19 meetings between the two sides in all competitions, first for nine years
00:31Allo's only victory came in a Challenge Cup semi-final December 2014, there were two down
00:39in that one, Kenny Miller and Dean Shields putting Rangers what they thought on course
00:45to the final but Allo Athletic scored three times in the final eight minutes, Greg Spence
00:51got it started, Ryan McCord's got things level, and then Spence again with an 89th minute
00:57winner at Recreation Park
00:59Rangers in front again here
01:10but not with the comfort that they would have liked after that own goal from Joe Rothwell
01:18the defence can look very exposed at times, plenty of possession in that first half
01:26it's all the territory to go with it but counter attack Allo Athletic will still fancy their chances
01:36of remaining in this competition
01:43to Cortes, Morse
01:50brief touch, Tavernier who will continue on the left hand side, Ahrens right back
01:59Rockwell
02:06Dowell
02:07squeezes that one through to Bayrami and
02:10sent clear by Divine
02:16you heard the guys at half time talking about the right hand side for Rangers and there's been a couple of opportunities already
02:23where I just feel like Cortes has got to drop his shoulder and try and go and hit the byline
02:29take Callum Waters on but instead he's always looked to cut inside
02:34Tamanier on the right foot, Dowell neat touch into Danilo, gets the shot away
02:39wasn't too far wide
02:41just looked as if his first touch got it caught under his feet a little bit
02:47wasn't able to direct it as well as he would have hoped
02:51Staring into that sun that's creeping through the car
03:19through the corner at the Brimlone stand
03:22here's Skugel, looks to get Orsi on the chase, coming across as Giga
03:27does well to find Ahrens
03:31Rothwell
03:40and Dowell
03:43closing down is Hetherington but forced out to Cortes, he wasn't far away from connecting with Danilo
03:53that's good, that's better, it's quick play
03:57Kieran Dowell eventually just being able to get the ball to him
04:00looks as if he probably was just off but
04:04doesn't get a great first touch either but you know the end result is what you'd be looking for
04:09getting quick ball to the wide man, getting the ball in behind the defence
04:13Danilo just not able to get on the end of it
04:17it's a big issue for Rangers at centre forward obviously
04:21huge game
04:23coming up against Bruggen
04:25saying that Dessler's will hopefully be fit
04:31just generally you know what's going to happen
04:33you know what's going to happen, is Agamang going to still be at the club
04:35is Dessler still going to be at the club
04:37what you would have hoped and expected from a big money signing
04:41Rockwell
04:47bouncing ball
04:48will come all the way to Moor
04:53pushes that one in
04:57Devine steers it clear
04:59interestingly
05:01these two clubs have just signed a loan cooperation agreement
05:05could well be some young Rangers players heading to play league one football with the Wasps
05:15just as Josh Gentles did last season
05:17he's on the bench for Rangers
05:19this evening as a striker
05:23so too is Hamza Agamang
05:25who is not fit enough for the bench
05:27Northwell that was straight
05:29and Devine
05:31one back quickly
05:35efficiently by Rangers
05:37Cortes
05:41I just don't understand why
05:43Cortes is not willing
05:45and wanting to go and take the throw back on there
05:47he's got space
05:49you know hit him with the ball and leave him
05:51let him go 1v1 against Waters
05:53just the reluctance to go and take the throw back on there
05:55it hurts the side
05:59it hurts the side
06:05just up at 34,000 inside
06:07Iforg Stadium
06:09750 of them packing the away end
06:15Cortes
06:29Aaron is closed down by Schugel
06:31Rockwell for Tavernier by Ramey
06:338-1-2 between the pair but
06:35Schuster can not get it away for more athletic
06:39and Buchanan
06:41will win the free kick from Fernandes
06:45possession is precious for the league one side
06:49well you can see
06:51you can see
06:55you can
06:57saw the big centre half Fernandes coming across
06:59knocks it past them in the left
07:01judges that the centre half
07:05filled them there
07:07wasn't agreed to that
07:09went down very easily
07:15Waters
07:17the line for Horsey
07:18given straight to
07:19Cortes
07:21Dowell
07:22closed down by Hetherington
07:24just to snap in in the middle of the park
07:26the ball winner
07:27just sits in front of the
07:29back four for Aloha
07:31it's another one of those balls that are
07:47nigh on impossible
07:49putting a bit of air on it as well
07:51trying to clip it over the back
07:53by Ramey's in a little bit of space
07:55but it's very very difficult to play that
07:59it's very difficult to play
08:03Scugol
08:05I must say
08:06needed a bit better communication there
08:11Dowell then
08:12absolutely ahead of Stefan Scugol
08:20Rangers opponents for
08:22the Tuesday night
08:23of the massive Champions League playoff game
08:25Klubbrugge were in domestic action this afternoon
08:28so Tifarragan
08:32took a
08:3392nd minute winner
08:341-0
08:35Chaudrey Campbell
08:36for Brugge
08:47by Ramey
08:48Rangers first goal
08:49Tavernier
08:51Aarons
08:52Cortes now
08:53oh and Danilo
08:55almost bashing the finish
08:59there you go getting behind the Aloha defence
09:04Cortes first time whipping it into it
09:09dangerous area
09:11inventive from Danilo
09:13and Danilo
09:23Ramey's probably keen to put this one to bed as soon as possible
09:25put this one to bed as soon as possible
09:26he's seen since the opening of the season
09:27he's seen since the opening of the season
09:40Tilo Asghar as well
09:43potential debut for Mansight from Lutontown
09:48big things expected
09:51Tavernier right footed
09:54puts that one in it does actually suit him playing in left back isn't it cutting in on the right hand side
09:59plenty white men to cut in
10:03we've got the throwback cutting in as well
10:05it's not a bad strike
10:06the sun in the eyes of McFarlane as well
10:08Curtis Roberts will charge after this
10:14safely back to Kelly for Fernandes
10:18oh well good kick out for Ramey and now
10:25it frees up Mikey Moore
10:27back on the right
10:31Ramey and Dowell unable to get any joy
10:34and Foster can bring it away for Aloha
10:37again able to make things stick up front for Luke Rankin
10:4920 year old has come through the Aloha Athletic youth system
10:58and always Buchanan alongside that forward line
11:07Giga
11:09Aarons
11:13Cortez
11:14one thing in his mind he wanted to get to that byline
11:17but
11:18Calvin Orsi
11:19was aware of his intentions
11:25there will be changes in the minds of Andy Graham
11:28with his assistant manager Graham Holmes
11:30first team coach Niall Marshall
11:37coming in from Dowell
11:40and a free header for Fernandes
11:43which he knocks wide
11:46there's a good height anyway Fernandes
11:48but he gets up brilliantly
11:53round the back post as you said
11:56got the free
11:58disappointed
11:59we can see he's disappointed
12:00understandably so
12:01not hitting the target there
12:07hop
12:08see
12:22this is Burn
12:26Tabernier
12:29oh
12:33?
12:34Cortes, Dowell, can't find Danilo, Rothwell steps in, Moor to Bayrami, Danilo, Tavernier into Dowell, Ahrens, Cortes just had to steer his run out,
13:04a little wider than his run was originally taking him, it breaks down with Dowell's final touch,
13:18well he's in that little pocket space, he's looking to play a quick one round the corner and get a one-two but
13:23just mishits his pass, drifts out aimlessly for the bye kick, Andy Graham's gonna freshen things up in that front three,
13:34a well-known figure of Connor Salmon will come on, Luke Rankin makes way but now the 38-year-old Connor Salmon,
13:46he's twice scored against Rangers, that did come in one game 15 years ago, a 3-2 defeat for Kilmarnock,
13:55that's one here with Hawks, also coming on Cameron O'Donnell replacing Calvin Orsi,
14:01maybe 30-8, maybe 30-8 but you know that Connor Salmon's in fair shape and he's athletic, he's quick,
14:15there's Alor a bit of an out ball if they're under pressure, they can play that ball in behind and
14:19they would hope that Salmon can open his legs and get on the end of something.
14:25Moor for Tavernier, Tiger comes across, does his job well.
14:42And Waverly does do well, he recognised the danger, slipped across Tiger and closed things off.
15:01Dowell makes that ball into Schugel, Danilo, space is out wide for Ahrens,
15:08and Cortez, Rothwell, to come off the arm of Danilo and then trying to guide that one in was
15:24headed by Ramy. I mean it looked, looked as if Danilo just puts his arm up and controls it,
15:33like this, like this, bizarre.
15:41Plays it right into the path of, well maybe doing him injustice, perhaps that would have
15:46been viewed as the t-shirt line.
15:55Control with the shoulder.
15:58Salmon, here is Salmon, he can't flick on, the free kick will go against the veteran forward.
16:15Salmon playing in this competition against Rangers for the fourth time, four different clubs.
16:19Salmon playing in the scores, he has lost the previous three, two of which were quarterfinals.
16:24Lost the previous three, two of which were quarterfinals.
16:27We won't be able to keep that one in, Russell Martin is planning a triple change for his
16:56side.
17:04Mike Williams will just go through their plans.
17:12It will be Conor Barron, Hamza Eggemann and Tilo Hasgard.
17:25To come on for a debut.
17:35Just over an hour played in Brock Stadium, the Rangers haven't finished this one yet.
17:47That will continue to give Aloe a belief.
17:53There's Cortez.
18:03That will continue to give Aloe a belief.
18:15There's Cortez.
18:19Rockwell.
18:20Only one of the three coming off.
18:26Now Salmon will chase this down, so Kelly just needs to be alert for the bouncing ball.
18:31Jiga, Dowell, as well to fight by Ramy.
18:47The left foot by Ramy.
18:48It might be a tap in for Cortez.
18:50What brilliant work by Cameron O'Donnell to deny Oscar Cortez what looked like a certain goal.
18:57Absolutely, Rory, because it looked exactly that.
19:02Cortez was going to have a simple goal, but O'Donnell does brilliantly to get back in and show real
19:08determination to get the block in and put it behind for the corner kick.
19:12He was second best when the ball was ricocheting out.
19:20Well, there is a VAR check going on for a potential penalty.
19:25The VAR check going on for a potential penalty.
19:51McFarlane awaits further instruction.
19:54The VAR check is for a potential penalty.
20:01The VAR check is for a potential penalty.
20:21Well, the early suggestion from the VAR room is that this may well be an on-field review for Daniel McFarlane.
20:31And he is going to come across to the screen.
20:51.
21:15Well, this looks like it is going to be overturned and Rangers are going to have a penalty here.
21:23It is given handball against Cameron O'Donnell.
21:27The yellow card is going to come out as well.
21:45So James Tavernier already, two goals for the season in each of the Premiership games, one from the spot last weekend.
22:03So Cameron O'Donnell, even though the officials deemed that to be accidental, the yellow card coming out.
22:15It is Tavernier. Precision penalty from the skipper. Rangers have their third. There is daylight now.
22:25They can start to think about the Premier Sports Cup quarter-finals.
22:31Well, it is a wonderful penalty kick from Tavernier at the bottom corner and it makes it comfortable for Rangers.
22:37McFarlane not able to get across and get the block right in the corner.
22:43Off the inside of the post as well. It is a great penalty kick.
22:47I mean, just looking back at the penalty that's given Rory, the VAR officials obviously talking about it was accidental, but it was denying the ball going on target.
23:05I'm still, I mean, I was under the impression that, you know, if the arm is in a position that's the consequence of the movement, then they wouldn't be punished for it.
23:14But the officials on this occasion have seen differently.
23:20I wonder as well, was there enough space between the ball being struck and then the hand to know that that ball was on target?
23:27I mean, you're talking about, what, probably a foot between the ball and where his hand eventually is?
23:36I think it's harsh on Alor, to be honest, but...
23:41So one debut comes to an end. Another Rangers career starts. Tillow Asgard replacing Mikey Moore.
23:51Four million pounds signing from Luton Town is on, a Norwegian international born in Liverpool.
23:59The other changes seen, Joe Rothwell replaced by Conor Barron, and Danilo goes off.
24:08Hamza Igman now leading the line for Rangers.
24:11I just wonder if that penalty has finished off the Alor Athletic fight.
24:32Waters, let's get on the end of that, and it will be a goal kick.
24:39Now the final quarter of the game, well, that was risky for Fernandes.
24:46Conor Barron. Asgard.
24:55By Rami, he's offside in any case.
25:00He'll need to find a new barber in Glasgow.
25:18I think he'll do that at home.
25:25Here is Asgard.
25:28Jiga.
25:32Barron's.
25:35Barron's.
25:36Barron's.
25:37Barron's.
25:38Barron's.
25:39Barron's.
25:40Big man.
25:41Barron.
25:42Adele sticking in O'Donnell.
25:46Some are looking to make life difficult for Jiga.
25:58B
26:16Manor's.
26:19ray.
26:20Dioal...
26:21Conor
26:32Nicely laid back from they'll plenty space. Nobody closed and I'm down
26:37I
26:48Drives it wide and open up nicely for the Moroccan
26:52It's not at the target, but even just the
26:55Conor balance things speedy things up and a command just finding some space and going and trying to
27:02drive at the defensive
27:04to be honest, but
27:06Just don't see Danilo doing them a lot of that type of play. You know, Eggermann is a real powerful
27:12figure
27:14Just like he's a greater threat than Danilo
27:20Only managed 15 minutes in that first game of the season at home to Panathinaikos
27:25It's Connor Barron. I think many might have thought he would have started today. This is just his
27:31Third appearance of the season
27:36There's an opportunity for Dowell, McFarlane with the save, Tavernier on the volley
27:41That's it well with power
27:49And see again, I think you might get involved in it
27:52Just his sheer presence and causing a bit of chaos in the Alola defense
27:59There's O'Donnell
28:00There's O'Donnell
28:01Water's invited forward
28:05There's O'Donnell
28:05there's O'Donnell
28:06there's O'Donnell
28:06and O'Donnell
28:07Thanks to Swaan
28:08that are
28:11Warr Vander, Warran, Warran, Warran, Warran, Warran, Warran Duncan
28:11Hedrington
28:12Hes�, Heser, Heser, Heser
28:25Hetherington.
28:34Scott Tiger.
28:45McFarlane, Salmon takes it down in front of Ahrens.
28:50He was expecting a corner out of it, he's not going to get it.
28:55The lack of concentration in the Rangers' defence is quite alarming.
29:00You could see that Connor Salmon was the wrong side of the full-back all day long.
29:04The centre-halves were just watching it happen.
29:15You can see Russell Martin in front of us just telling the centre-halves exactly that.
29:19They need to be covering round.
29:22He's still going.
29:26Daniel Fernandes in particular getting an earful.
29:29The changes to the Rangers' European score for mid-week, Mikey Moore and Taylor Asgard added.
29:38Jephti and Cortes removed.
29:41The Rangers' next four games, the double header with Club Brugge.
29:47In between a trip to Paisley next weekend and then hosting the Derby against Celtic.
29:56The next two for Allo Athletic.
29:57The next two for Allo Athletic should be very interesting as well.
30:05Home to Hamilton Academical then.
30:07Up to the Highlands to face Inverness, Caledonia and Thistle.
30:08Three teams who have won their opening two games in League One.
30:12Although Inverness, Caledonia and Thistle starting with a five-point deduction.
30:13Again, it's the simple ball over the top.
30:14That power and pace from Sam.
30:16The second for Allo Athletic should be very interesting as well.
30:18and able to get to get on the end of it, but pretty sure Russell will get it.
30:19As soon as he goes up to the Highlands,
30:20up to the Highlands to face Inverness, Caledonia and Thistle.
30:22Three teams who have won their opening two games in League One.
30:27Although Inverness, Caledonia and Thistle starting with a five-point deduction.
30:31Against a simple ball over the top.
30:36That power and pace from Sam and I will get it on the end of it, but
30:39that power and pace from Salmon able to get on the end of it,
30:44but I'm pretty sure Russell Martin will not be overly impressed or pleased
30:50with how easy that was just to get in behind and get a corner out of it.
30:56So don't need to take that, Salmon.
31:01That's the favourite of the back post.
31:06By Rame, just coming to Tavernier,
31:11covering the ball into Cortes.
31:23It's from the Curtis and Josh Gentles going through a bit of a warm-up.
31:36Baran, Igman, Cortes.
31:45Tavernier has moved over to this right-hand side, switching with Ahrens for now.
31:51That's picked off, slides in on Roberts who has stayed down.
31:57Buchanan will start the chase against Max Allens and there could be a yellow car.
32:06There is indeed for Connor Baran.
32:09Connor Baran.
32:10They are just asking for a delay so they can it.
32:14We are just asking for a delay so they can have a check of that, that check has been
32:43completed, they are happy with the decision on the yellow card, reckless challenge from Connor Barron.
33:08Now one for Salmon to chase and Kelly back pedalling, Fernandes coming across, Salmon running out of space to run into.
33:30He didn't want to go on his left foot, he really just needed to drive straight at the goal though.
33:40Potentially just trying out muscle the centre half as well, instead he was always wanting to cut back on his right foot and Fernandes defended it fairly comfortably.
33:52Buchanan, and he's flattened as well by Max Ahrens.
33:58Nice little nutmeg from Buchanan.
34:12That is for Max Ahrens to go off shortly, Fernandes joining the action.
34:24Can Aloua cause another scare? That's towards the back post, it's gone in again and it's Scott Taggart from close range.
34:40The header came off the bar, Taggart couldn't miss from there and there is still belief amongst the Aloua Athletic supporters.
35:02The deficit cut in half. Very much so still life in the game, ten plus minutes to go.
35:14You can see Kieran Dill has not even any idea where the ball is, he's just facing the defender, he doesn't jump at all.
35:22Off the crossbar and then into the back of the net from Taggart, but round the back here you can see Devine gets right up above Kieran Dill.
35:34He's just standing watching him. Bizarre.
35:40Scott Taggart, the captain.
35:44He played alongside his manager.
35:46That makes that penalty kick, Rory, very, very important.
35:50You know, we were thinking that that was the end of the game and it extinguished any hope that Aloua had.
35:57Well, maybe not.
35:58Salmon.
36:00Went for it from halfway.
36:04Never a worry really for Liam Kelly.
36:08But the worry for Rangers is that, you know, the game's still in the balance to a certain extent with ten minutes to go against League One Aloua.
36:21And even though they may well come away winners, it's not exactly put any concerns that the supports would have to bed.
36:31It just feels like just enough if they do manage to see it through.
36:37Dowell, good ball into it. Asgard.
36:41Well, as a result of that goal, Finlay Curtis has been told to sit back down.
37:00As Alex Allen's remaining on the pitch.
37:04I think, you know, understandably questions will just be asked about the general defending.
37:10It has been very loose.
37:13It was Buchanan looking to go around the outside of Tavernier. He defended that situation well.
37:20Lackadaisical would be a fair description as well.
37:24Too many times it just seems like without a great deal of pressure, because it's not as if Aloua had any concerted pressure in an attacking sense, but lacking concentration and all of a sudden they manage to work themselves forward and get into a dangerous area.
37:39And you're thinking it shouldn't be difficult to stop from Rangers perspective.
37:46Russell Mark will be desperate to avoid extra time.
37:53European game looming on Tuesday night.
38:04Ermgey Graham's side keeping themselves in the tie with 7 and a half minutes to go.
38:16And you've got to give big credit to the league one side Tavernier Cortes.
38:24Tavernier
38:32Dowell
38:34Barron
38:38coming under pressure from Schugel
38:39Hetherington will do likewise to James Tavernier
38:43and Donald
38:43behind the experienced midfielder
38:47and buys an easy free kick
38:49now the change will be made
38:52but it has been altered
38:53because Max Ahrens will be staying on
38:56Finlay-Curtis is coming on
38:58but it will be for Oscar-Cortez this time
39:02so Finlay-Curtis scored against Panathinaikos
39:16also scored actually against Club Brugge
39:19in pre-season as well
39:21Summon the target Schugel
39:35able to pick up
39:38Taggart the goal scorer
39:42just fizzed that one too much
39:45Luke Donnelly will be coming on for the closing stages for Aloha
39:56Hetherington gets a touch
40:14away by Dowell
40:16Asgard won that well
40:28with purpose as well
40:30he continues his run
40:31Igeman has an option out wide so too
40:33Asgard going through
40:34McFarlane hangs on
40:36well it's a good drive and run
40:40a nice little ball from Igeman
40:42the goalkeeper you've got to say McFarlane does well to come out and smother that
40:46donnelly
40:59donnelly
41:00so the alteration
41:11Donnelly come on and it's Curtis Roberts who will make way
41:20throw the dice for Andy Graham
41:41That's Stephen Hetherington that's gone off, that is Curtis Roberts
41:56Mega Man, again driving Rangers forward, winning the free kick
42:02and that will draw the yellow cards for Hetherington
42:07Yeah, it's good play from Mega Man, just releases a little bit of pressure
42:11gets his side up the park and wins the free kick
42:15just sucking Hetherington in here, knocking it past them again, clear free kick
42:19And it's out too, by Rabi
42:26Rangers hoping that they can see out these final three minutes without another scare
42:32They would have wanted it to be a lot more comfortable than this
42:39Asgard, Taggart who's made it an interesting finish
42:57Send that clear, but Fernandes can find his centre-back partner
43:09Tabernier, run by Waters, now Salmon lost out in a physical battle with Giga
43:15It's Tabernier, run by Waters, now Salmon lost out in a physical battle with Giga
43:22Now Salmon lost out in a physical battle with Giga
43:24Now Salmon lost out in a physical battle with Giga
43:26Now Salmon lost out in a physical battle with Giga
43:28Now Salmon lost out in a physical battle with Giga
43:42Tavernier Curtis
43:49Tiger with the header, it's Byrami, Higuman, Byrami, Barron, Tavernier, Higuman demands it back from Ahrens, Tavernier, Asghar,
44:16Conor Barron with the strike, wide it goes, and a reminder that the draw for the Premier Sports Cup quarterfinal draw will be made at full time as things stand, Rangers will be in that draw, and tomorrow joining them will be either Kilmarnock or Dundee United, that's the 3 o'clock kick-off, or Livingston, and Bernian, again 3 o'clock kick-off tomorrow,
44:45so those two games will be available on the Premier Sports player, here's Dowell, Curtis outside him, Curtis to finish it, he has!
45:05And Rangers are safely through, Finlay Curtis takes his opportunity, and the teenager, his stop continues to rise, goal scorer in Europe against Panathinaikos,
45:21maybe not the amount of minutes he might have hoped for today, but he can celebrate his second goal in Rangers colours, and that safely puts them through.
45:35Well, it's an important one, isn't it, just to put things to bed, avoid a few nervy moments towards the end.
45:43He gets his angles perfect, Finlay Curtis to find that bottom corner.
45:47Not the cleanest of the strikes, but it's the accuracy that counts there, right into that far corner, McFarlane, fully stretched, can't get anywhere near it.
45:59Well, at long last, the Allo Athletic fight is killed off, but to take Rangers all the way to the 90 minutes,
46:19deserves plenty of credit, the only League One side left in the competition.
46:23It's won by David Devine, and of course Russell Markham did make his ten changes for this one.
46:42I wonder if anyone has done enough to take their place in the starting line-up on Tuesday night.
46:53There's a double change coming here, Andrew Clarke, who's signing from Linfield over the summer.
47:04Lewis Bruant, 17-year-old, also coming on, just having signed his first professional deal this month.
47:15Steven Buchanan makes way along with Stefan Schugel.
47:23Kelly in to the feet of Barron.

47:47Kelly in to the feet of Barron.
47:48There's Iggyman, down he goes, it's going to be another yellow card this time for Divine,
48:15just in the closing seconds, I believe it's just the three minutes that have been added.
48:29So these will be the closing seconds, confirm that with 10 seconds to go there will only be three minutes added.
48:45That is the full-time whistle, Rangers see themselves through, eventually it took their time to confirm their place,
48:55it was a good fight put up by Andy Grahams, Allo Athletic, League One side coming to Ibrox and having their moments,
49:03and they did give them a scare and then Michael at the end of that I'm sure some convincing still to be done,
49:13but who was your player of the match this evening?
49:15The man in the picture there, Joe Rothwell, I thought he was one of the few that actually showed a little bit of drive in the game,
49:22trying to get the ball forward as quickly as possible at times as well.
49:26It's going to have to be a big signing for Russell Martin if things are going to turn the way that he wants,
49:31and this afternoon I thought he was one of the few that actually looked like he had a bit about him.
49:38Well I mean as an overall assessment I think we came here suggesting that there's still the majority of fans yet to be convinced by what they've seen,
49:47does this do anything to ally those fears?
49:50I don't think so Rory, no, is the short answer.
49:55But as they did in midweek, it's enough to progress for Rangers, four goals, a debut goal for Emmanuel Fernandes,
50:08and they do head through into the draw for the quarter finals, along with Celtic, Aberdeen, Partick Thistle, Motherwell,
50:22and St Mirren who are already there after their victories in the last 24 hours.
50:30So another victory for Russell Martin, the final score in this Premier Sports Cup.
50:37Second round tie is Rangers four, Allo Athletic two.
