Kemar Roofe
It's a lovely flick from Joe Aribo into the path of Kemar Roofe, who controls it with his left foot and hammers it into the net with his right.

Rory Loy
Former Rangers & Dunfermline forwardQuote MessageCraig Wighton and Kevin O'Hara, when they're back they need to get out to the full-backs to stop them, but they're not doing anything to affect anything. It's almost like they're non-existent in the game.
PENALTY APPEALpublished at 28 mins
Rangers 3-0 Dunfermline
Rangers have appeals for a penalty as Scott Wright hits the deck, but referee Willie Collum - who was right next to the incident - is unmoved.
There was contact but Collum obviously felt Wright went down too easily.

Richard Foster
Former Rangers defender on BBC Radio ScotlandQuote MessageIt's strange the way Dunfermline are approaching this game. They've got two in the centre of midfield, but they just occupy spaces, they don't actually go and pick anyone up. They've got two men in front of Kemar Roofe but he's still allowed to get the ball into his feet. It's almost like they're just happy to be there.
GREAT SAVE!published at 25 mins
Rangers 3-0 Dunfermline
What a save that is from Deniz Mehmet.
Nathan Patterson gets onto a knock down, turns and volleys it first time, but Mehmet does brilliantly to palm it over the bar.

Kemar Roofe has an audacious attempt at the end of a decent attacking move from Rangers, but it's well over the bar.

Ianis Hagi
We're not at the 20-minute mark yet and Dunfermline already trail by three.
It's a superb cross from Calvin Bassey, and Ianis Hagi can't miss with the header.

More slack play from Rangers as Nathan Patterson gives up possession. Kevin O'Hara has a crack at goal but it hits the first defender.

Rangers 1-0 Dunfermline
A slack pass from Jack Simpson allows Kevin O'Hara the chance to race forward, but Rangers defender Connor Goldson manages to match him for pace and gets a challenge in before he can reach the box.

Rangers 1-0 Dunfermline
Rangers win their first corner of the game and it bounces across the face of goal after being missed by Dunfermline's Craig Wighton, but no-one in blue can take advantage.

Should really be 2-0 Rangers.
Calvin Bassey has far too much space on the left, he picks out Kemar Roofe who is unmarked in the box, but he can't generate enough power in his header.

Rangers are in the mood. Kemar Roofe tries to latch onto a good ball into the box but goalkeeper Deniz Mekmet manages to get to it before he can.

Well that didn't take long.Graham Dorrans makes a poor pass inside his own box, Calvin Bassey latches onto it, cuts it back for John Lundstrum who side-foots into the roof of the net. His first goal for Rangers.
