    Aaron Ramsey's been efficient. He's hardly given the ball away.

  10. Adam tells Dundee to 'go and get the next goal'published at 16:58 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2022

    HT: Dundee 0-2 Rangers

    Dundee captain Charlie Adam is out with a hamstring problem and that first half has been a hard watch for the former Scotland midfielder.

    "It's been a difficult first 45," he tells BBC Sportsound. "If we can get the next goal, it can give us some confidence in the game. You're playing the champions, they had a huge win in the week. You've just got to nullify them and try and stay in the game. I don't think it's a penalty for the second goal. Go and get the next goal. It's a cup tie, you've got to go for it."

    Rangers have been dominant. I expected a little bit more from Dundee in terms of having a go. It's been a bit of a stroll so far for Rangers.

    Rangers are in complete control at Dens Park.

    Connor Goldson slammed in an early opener and James Tavernier won and converted a spot-kick.

    Alfredo Morelos knocked a header over the top when a goal looked certain and a Ryan Kent volley was cleared off the line.

    One-way traffic.

    Lee Ashcroft, who pulled up in the warm-up for a midweek loss to St Mirren, is down on the turf and it looks very much like the Dundee defender will play no further part.

    Aaron Ramsey is playing narrow on the right for Rangers and that is allowing James Tavernier to steam forward time and time again. Dundee just haven't got to grips with the galloping full-back.

    If Rangers were to get the third goal, it's a long, long day for Dundee. Giovanni van Bronckhorst will be quite happy with the performance so far.

    Dundee scramble clear from a corner but Rangers keep up the pressure as Calvin Bassey stands up a great cross for Ryan Kent to volley. The shot is flying in until Jordan McGhee makes a great sliding clearance a foot or so in front of the goal-line.

    James Tavernier flights the ball in from the right this time and Alfredo Morelos gets on the end of this one, only to send his thumping header over the top from close range.

    Dundee definitely don't want to fall further behind but if they get the next goal, they'll be right back in this game.
