Rangers 8 Stenhousemuir 0

Jon Daly hits four as Rangers trounce a sorry Stenhousemuir.

Rangers continued their unbeaten run by destroying Stenhousemuir in front of a packed Ibrox Stadium. With Black and McLeod back in the side Rangers started the match with possibly their strongest team available. Jon Daly bullied the Stenhousemuir defense and was rewarded by hitting the back of the net on four occasions. Little, Templeton, Wallace and Mohsni were also on the score sheet as Rangers showcased their supremacy in the Scottish League One.

Ian Black returned to the side after his betting ban and he made an instant impact, controlling the game from start to finish. This allowed Law to make darting runs forward as Rangers played their best football this season. Rangers have struggled with Black's absence and the midfielder got a raucous reception from the fans when he was named in the starting eleven.

Two Royal Marines abseiled down the Govan side of the stadium to deliver the match ball to the referee before kickoff. The celebration of Armed Forces Day generated an atmosphere that culminated with the opener after two minutes of play. Ian Black curved a free kick in from the edge of the box which Daly headed beyond goalkeeper Chris Smith.

Daly then missed a glorious chance two minutes later when Law swung an enticing ball in from the left flank. Daly looked certain to add to his tally but he mistimed his shot, sending it wide of goal.

Daly's second goal materialized from a Stenhousemuir defensive error. Wallace pressurised the defender into making a clearance which rebounded off the Rangers defender onto the head of Daly who made no mistake with the header.

At this stage Rangers were rampant with Nicky Law unfortunate not to have netted a double. The first was a curling effort that was cleared off the line followed by a diving header that hit the woodwork.

Andy Little struggled throughout the match but was gifted with a goal when a Stenhousemuir defender cleared the ball off Little which ended up in the back of the net. It was a relief for the striker who struggled to show any real class throughout the day.

Richard Forster initiated the fourth by crossing a dangerous ball in from the right that Daly met with a diving header. This was evidence of Rangers playing with confidence and enjoying their football now that the match was won.

It did not take Nicky Clark long to get involved in the action when he was introduced by unselfishly cutting back for Daly to slot home. Daly they turned provider when he cutback for Templeton to score from close range.

Mohsni's overhead kick sent Ibrox into bedlam with a superb overhead kick inside injury time.
