Now Rangers are withdrawing captain Lee Wallace and introducing wingers Billy King and Michael O'Halloran from the bench.

Harry Forrester limps off for Rangers and gets a hearty handshake from manager Mark Warburton.

The last change for Peterhead as Leighton McIntosh replaces Jamie Redman. The sub has scored 13 goals this season.

Rory McAllister does well to get the ball into the box from the left and Nicky Riley spins to slam a shot high into the side-netting, with the Rangers defence looking jittery.

Rangers should be 3-0 up as Harry Forrester delivers a delicious cross right on to the head of Andy Halliday inside the six yard box. The midfielder makes a terrible mess of it though, with the ball skewing off the side of his noggin and flying wide.

Another booking, this time for Peterhead top-scorer Rory McAllister. Then a change, with former Dundee midfielder Nicky Riley on for Shane Sutherland.

Rangers defender Rob Kiernan gifts Peterhead a corner with a dreadful pass-back, lofting the ball high over his goalkeeper Wes Foderingham. The Blue Toon cannot capitalise on the generous offer...

George Salmond is suddenly card-happy as he books Rangers defender Danny Wilson for cynically blocking the path of Rory McAllister.

Barrie McKay gets the Rangers fans on their feet as he skips past a couple of challenges but his cut-back is knocked away for a corner.

A few feisty challenges are going in from the League One side and referee George Salmond loses patience when Scott Ross catches the ankle of Andy Halliday, producing his first yellow card of the day.

Surely Peterhead have just got to go for it and try to grab the next goal. Some of these players will never get another chance to play at the national stadium again.

We're up and running again...

I've managed to get this far without mentioning Rangers' next game. Mark Warburton's side will be back at Hampden in seven days time for a meeting with Glasgow rivals Celtic.

Are Rangers fans daring to dream of a treble?

Rangers' route to Hampden involved wins over Hibernian, Ayr United, Livingston and St Mirren.

Peterhead made it by beating Brechin, Falkirk, Stenhousemuir and Queen's Park.

Rangers are in a commanding position at Hampden. Ally Gilchrist knocked in an own goal when trying to cut out a Kenny Miller cross and James Tavernier added a stunning volley.

Peterhead showed some spirit at the end of the first half and it needed a goal-line clearance to prevent them from clawing one back.

A good 45 minutes for Rangers comes to a close with the Championship winners repelling another Peterhead corner.

As we approach half-time, Peterhead are having their best spell. Rory McAllister gets in behind the Rangers defence and has time to drill the ball across the face of goal. Jordan Brown can't quite get there at the back post.

Always have a man on the post... Jason Holt is able to use his chest to keep out a powerful header from Scott Ross as Peterhead come close to scoring from a corner kick.

A bit of a lull in play as both sides exchange a series of aimless, long balls.
