Albion Rover 0 - Rangers 4 - Law Makes Impact On Rangers Debut

Rangers showed massive signs of improvement compared with last season in there first competitive match of the season. The introduction of Law and Daly strengthened the Rangers line up, giving it much needed experience. This combined with McCulloch playing at centre back provided Rangers with a solid spine to the line up that has not been seen since the SPL days. 

Having said that for all the possession Rangers had in the first half, they created few goal scoring opportunities until Law broke the deadlock after 25 mins. Rangers clearance from an Albion attack was deftly controlled by Daly before releasing McLeod on a pulsating run. Wallace who was bursting a gut down the left hand side was there to receive a perfectly weighted pass from McLeod and curled a inch perfect cross into the path of Law who made no mistake with the finish. Rangers controlled the match from the next 15 mins without looking like capitalising on their possession. While McCoist would argue Rangers played with two up front, Daly at times looked isolated. Just before half time Wallace played a short corner kick to Law who jinxed inside the full back before curling a stunning effort into the back of the net. 

Rangers put the game beyond doubt in the second half when Daly sent Ian Black through on goal. Black kept his composure and drove the ball under the arms of the Albion keeper. Templeton, who came on for McLeod topped the day off with a special effort from 30 yards out. With more players waiting to come into the team Rangers look like they could be an entirely different proposition this year.
