CLOSE!published at 18:13 Greenwich Mean Time 10 February
Rangers 1-0 Ayr Utd
That man again, Oscar Cortes.
He drills one to the far post but no-one can turn it in and it rolls just wide.

Rangers 1-0 Ayr Utd
Rangers rob Ayr in a dangerous position but it all breaks down after Nico Raskin's loose pass.

Rangers 1-0 Ayr Utd
Oscar Cortes has been Rangers' bright spark as he wins another corner.
James Tavernier takes but it's headed away.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 18:06 Greenwich Mean Time 10 February
Rangers 1-0 Ayr Utd
And another.
Mark McKenzie mistimes a challenge deep in Rangers' half but it's enough for a yellow from Willie Collum.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 18:05 Greenwich Mean Time 10 February
Rangers 1-0 Ayr Utd
Roy Syla is into the book for a cynical foul on halfway,
Will that be a blue card in future?

Rangers 1-0 Ayr Utd
Ayr have been the better team the past 10 minutes or so.
They test Rangers again with a wide free-kick but it comes to nothing.

BBC Sport Scotland at IbroxThe Honest Men are growing in this.
They have weathered the early storm and have done well to stay in touch given how this match started.
They are beginning to create and ask questions.

Rangers 1-0 Ayr Utd
John Souttar slips and Ayr are in again, three on two.
Mark McKenzie fires in a beauty of a cross but it just evades the man in the box.

Ex-Rangers winger Jamie Murphy pings it to the far post before Jack Butland claims a simple header.

Better from Ayr, who win a corner through measured play through the thirds.

Rangers 1-0 Ayr Utd
Connor Goldson runs the ball too far and Ayr are on the break.
But John Souttar bails out his centre-back partner with a superb last-ditch challenge on Anton Dowds.

Up the other end the ball goes and Anton Dowds heads well over the Rangers crossbar.

Former Rangers winger on BBC SportsoundHe gets the ball. I do believe Willie Collum gets that one correct.
PENALTY APPEALpublished at 17:50 Greenwich Mean Time 10 February
Rangers 1-0 Ayr Utd
Rangers want a penalty as the impressive Oscar Cortes is sent tumbling by Logan Chalmers.
The Ayr man gets the ball eventually but he makes contact first.
Play on...

Martin Dowden
BBC Sport Scotland at IbroxThis Rangers side look so hungry. They started with electrifying intensity and since the goal there has been no let up.
Ayr look competent on the ball but they are being hounded.
They have to find a way to move the ball and retain possession to stay in this.
'Ayr must hang in'published at 17:46 Greenwich Mean Time 10 February

Ryan Stevenson
Former Ayr Utd midfielder on BBC SportsoundAyr have to just hang in now.
Rangers have done their homework and every attack seems to have come down this left-hand side.
Defensively, Ayr had to be super switched on - that's Rangers' left-back that's just scored.
'Wonderful start for Rangers'published at 17:45 Greenwich Mean Time 10 February

Former Rangers winger on BBC SportsoundAgain, it's Cortes who gets a great ball across the face. Borna Barisic doesn't even think about it and just hits it low.
It's a wonderful start for Rangers and it's a really tough one for Ayr now.

GOAL! Rangers 1-0 Ayr Utdpublished at 17:43 Greenwich Mean Time 10 February
Borna Barisic
It's been coming.
Ayr struggle to clear and Oscar Cortes pokes the ball back for Borna Barisic to smash in via a slight deflection.
