about us we can get stuck in and try to pick up points, but going to Ibrox again on the back of a bad result is hard.

“You know it’s going to be backs against the wall, you know it’s going to be a difficult task – and then you take into account they have a new manager in, it’s a full stadium, their players are all up for the game, and that makes it that little bit harder.”

In front of new boss Pedro Caixinha and a 49,090 crowd Rangers got off to a good start and Gary Woods was forced to save from Hyndman and Waghorn either side of a good move where Barrie Mckay crossed for Jason Holt, but he blazed over from 12 yards. However, in 26 minutes Kenny Miller crossed for James Tavernier on the right and his cutback was clipped into the bottom corner by Hyndman to put Rangers 1-0 ahead. Hamilton could have drawn level in 38 minutes when Dougie Imrie’s cross from the left was knocked down by Grant Gillespie, but Ali Crawford’s bicycle kick was taken fairly comfortably at the bottom right corner by Wes Foderingham. However, Rangers made sure of the points in 41 minutes when Mckay’s free kick on the right was poorly defended and Clint Hill headed past Woods.

There wasn’t much to the second half, but from Rangers’ point of view they didn’t need it to be.

In 50 minutes Tavernier sent a free kick inches over the bar from just outside the box.

Five minutes later Miller sent Waghorn into the box and Massimo Donati tripped the striker, with referee Don Robertson pointing to the spot.

Waghorn stepped up and slammed the spot-kick straight down the middle to add polish to an already comfortable win.

Darian Mackinnon nearly put through his own goal while dealing with a dangerous Holt cross in 59 minutes.

But Rangers put a cherry on top in 74 minutes when Miller and Waghorn combined to set up Wallace, with the captain clipping the ball over Woods.

The goals we’re conceding aren’t good enough – at any level
