Falkirk 0-2 Rangers
So close to a goal back from Falkirk from Blair Alston's corner swung to the back post.
Mark Durnan rises above his marker, but the centre-half's powerful downward header is turned wide by goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin at the back post.

A great chance for Rangers to extend their lead further.
Cedric Itten is through on goal, but the striker fires wastefully over from just inside the penalty box.

Brian Rice
Hamilton Academical manager on BBC Radio ScotlandQuote MessageThat's a disappointing goal to lose from Falkirk. The header is straight at the goalkeeper and he's dropped the ball and Bassey's reacted quickest. He's reacted like a striker there

Calvin Bassey
Having made a good save to concede the corner, goalkeeper Peter Morrison is only able to parry Cedric Itten's downward header from the resulting set-piece and Calvin Bassey pounces to score.
That looks to be game over. Long way back for the third-tier side now.

Kamara for Barkerpublished at 25mins
Falkirk 0-1 Rangers
Brandon Barker is unable to continue and is replaced with Glen Kamara.
That means a change in shape. Ianis Hagi will move from the centre to the wing to make room.

Falkirk 0-1 Rangers
So close to a second for Jermain Defoe.
Another long ball into the home penalty box, this time from Calvin Bassey, is headed clear by Mark Durnan and Defoe adjust his body before sending a first-time volley from just outside the penalty box and a couple of feet wide.
Just like thatpublished at 17:13 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2020
Falkirk 0-1 Rangers
Falkirk hadn't conceded a goal in three matches.
But, within six minutes, they are undone by a sublime Jermain Defoe finish.
That's the veteran former England striker's third goal in only his third start of the season. Still a deadly finisher.

Hamilton Academical head coach on BBC Radio ScotlandQuote MessageIt's a fantastic ball by Goldson, but Durnan should do better. As soon as Defoe gets that ball, there's only one place it's going. Falkirk will be disappointed

Jermain Defoe
So much for playing it tight.
A simple long ball into the penalty box from Connor Goldson and Mark Durnan misses the header and Jerman Defoe fires across the goalkeeper and in off the far post.
Game over already?

Falkirk have to believe - McCrackenpublished at 17:00 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2020
Falkirk v Rangers (17:00)
Falkirk co-manager David McCracken tells BBC Sportsound that his team are aware that they face a massive task if they want to get through to the quarter-finals of the League Cup.
"Rangers have made a few changes, but they still have that quality to bring in and we are looking forward to this," he says.
"Gary [Miller] is our captain and has massive experience. He has been playing at right-back with Mercer out and he's done extremely well. But we've got to just get on with it without him. We have done some preparation and we will cope with it.
"There has to be that belief there that they can get something out of the game. It's going to be tough, we're going to have to work really hard defensively, but we will create chances throughout the game and it's about taking them when we get them."
