  1. Defoe ends Blues defiance

    Rangers 2-0 Stranraer

    Jermain Defoe's 15th goal of the season looks to have taken Rangers safely into the last 16 of the Scottish Cup.

  2. Kennedy debut for Rangers

    Rangers 2-0 Stranraer

    Rangers manager Steven Gerrard takes the opportunity to give 17-year-old winger Kai Kennedy his debut in place of Joe Aribo.

  3. ouch!

    Ouch!

    Rangers 2-0 Stranraer

    Stranraer defender Jordan Allan takes a sore one on the chin as he rises with Ryan Jack and takes an accidental heel in the face.

  4. Rangers 2-0 Stranraer

    Joe Aribo again as the midfielder shows good strength to hold off his marker but send his shot straight at Stranraer goalkeeper on the turn.

  5. Rangers 2-0 Stranraer

    With Jermain Defoe off, Joe Aribo is taking up a more forward position and the midfielder threatens with a header that is easily held by goalkeeper Max Currie.

  6. New striker for Rangers?

    I think, if there's one type of player Steven Gerrard would love to add to his squad this month, it would be a striker. If something happened to one of the strikers for the rest of the campaign, they'd be in a bit of bother

  7. Defoe and Stirling off

    Rangers 2-0 Stranraer

    James Hilton scored the winner in the last round against Dunfermline, but it might be too late for him to rescue Stranraer as the midfielder replaces Andy Stirling.

    That comes shortly after Rangers scorer Jermain Defoe makes way for Sheyi Ojo. With Alfredo Morelos suspended for the next two league games, manager Steven Gerrard is taking no chances with the Colombian's understudy.

  8. 'Lazy left leg from Cummings'

    As Defoe just rolls away from Cummings, there's a lazy left leg and catches the standing foot of Defoe

  9. GOAL! Rangers 2-0 Stranraer

    Jermain Defoe

    Jermain Defoe wins a penalty and scores the goal that he's been desperate for all evening.

    The striker is tripped by Adam Cummins and slots in the spot kick. Game over surely.

    Goal - Rangers

  10. 'Stranraer happy to defend deep'

    Rangers 1-0 Stranraer

    Billy Dodds
    Former Scotland striker on Sportsound

    Stranraer will be happy with balls coming from deep and quite far out. You're talking crosses from 25-30 yards away. Because they're planted, they can just get their big defenders there and get the head on it. That's what they've been doing for most of the night

  11. GOOD SAVE!

    Rangers 1-0 Stranraer

    The ball falls to Steven Davis inside the Stranraer penalty box. The Northern Ireland veteran midfielder has a sight at goal, but his low drive is blocked by the foot of goalkeeper Max Currie.

  12. Barker for Jones

    Rangers 1-0 Stranraer

    The commentators' curse strikes again. Just as we were suggesting Rangers would not make a change this early, Steven Gerrard switches wingers, with Brandon Barker replacing Jordan Jones, who has admittedly had a poor game.

  13. 'Gerrard unlikely to make subs just yet'

    Rangers 1-0 Stranraer

    Neil McCann
    Former Hearts & Rangers winger on BBC Sportsound

    Gerrard will be thinking this is good game time for the lads that are out there. So, unless he feels it's absolutely necessary, I'm not sure he'll make too many subs yet. All these guys are requiring minutes

  14. 'Rangers will score again'

    Rangers 1-0 Stranraer

    Neil McCann
    Former Hearts & Rangers winger on BBC Sportsound

    Stranraer are sticking at it, but sooner or later, you just think they're going to tire and Rangers will score again

  15. GREAT SAVE!

    Rangers 1-0 Stranraer

    Nathan Patterson is so close to a debut goal for Rangers as the full-back creates the chance himself with a powerful run before gathering the ball back from Joe Aribo.

    The 18-year-old right-back's poked effort from the edge of the box is heading for the back of the net before goalkeeper Max Currie touches it over the crossbar for yet another corner.

  16. Rangers 1-0 Stranraer

    Stranraer goalkeeper Max Currie blocks at the near post as Jermain Defoe swivels and shoots from close range.

  17. Rangers 1-0 Stranraer

    The ball is bouncing round the Stranraer six-yard box and a Jordan Jones pop is deflected wide this time.

    Desperate defending now from the part-timers.

  18. Rangers 1-0 Stranraer

    Joe Aribo gets a sight of goal, but a good block from Scott Robertson means it is another Rangers corner.

  19. YELLOW CARD Patterson (Rangers)

    Rangers 1-0 Stranraer

    Stranraer start in adventurous fashion and are unfortunate not to earn a free kick in a good position on their right before Rangers debutant Nathan Patterson earns a yellow card for a mistimed tackle on Andy Stirling.

  20. KICK-OFF Second half

    Rangers 1-0 Stranraer

    The aforementioned Jermain Defoe gets the second half under way for Rangers who are strong favourites to build on this and ease into the fifth round.
