FT: Rangers 5-1 St Mirren
Steven Thompson
Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound
You could hear it inside the stadium, the shift in how the Rangers fans are feeling. It will give everyone at the club a lift.
James Penrice was outstanding on his debut and Tochi Chukwuani was excellent too.
A lot of positives for Derek McInnes.
Just what Rangers needed after a shaky start to the season.
A first win in five attempts for manager Derek McInnes sends his team into the last eight of the Premier Sports Cup at the expense of the holders.
Ryan Naderi got the ball rolling and Vanja Dragojevic crashed in a glorious goal for the home side.
Chris Mochrie replied before half-time, but Rangers ran away with it in the second 45 minutes, with new boy James Penrice scoring after setting up a goal for Djeidi Gassama.
Ross McCausland wrapped up the scoring.

Absolutely no added time...
Fair enough.

Space opens up for Jake Young but the St Mirren substitute shoots straight at Ivor Pandur.

There's been a lot of good performances for Rangers, although Fernandez has looked vulnerable, with some sloppy play, the booking, the penalty.
Rangers 5-1 St Mirren
Ross McCrorie takes over from Dujon Sterling at right-back for Rangers as St Mirren's Chris Mochrie limps off.
The Paisley side send on Henry Fieldson and Luke Douglas, with Killian Phillips also replaced.
Rangers 5-1 St Mirren
There's no one to finish this one off as a shot from St Mirren sub Luke Thomas comes back off the post.
Ross McCausland
A few fans might have forgotten Ross McCausland is still at the club, but he marks his first Rangers appearance since April 2025 with a simple goal.
James Penrice almost gets another assist as his cross is flicked against a post by Lawrence Shankland and there is McCausland to tap in the rebound.
Rangers 4-1 St Mirren
Would you believe it? Killian Phillips goes the other way this time and Ivor Pandur saves.
Killian Phillips rolls in a cool spot-kick but ref John Beaton is saying he hadn't blown his whistle.

Eseosa Sule is toppled by Emmanuel Fernandez, who picked up a first-half booking but escapes a caution this time...
Rangers 4-1 St Mirren
Rangers make a triple change as Lawrence Shankland, Dan Neil and Ross McCausland enter the fray.
Ryan Naderi, Vanja Dragojevic and Djeidi Gassama are the men making way.
Earlier, St Mirren introduced Jake Young and Fraser Taylor.

James Penrice fancies another goal as his fizzing, low shot is well saved by a diving Jacob Chapman.

Suddenly it's clicking for Rangers.
The addition of James Penrice has given the whole team a greater sense of balance, right from the off this afternoon.
His pace and appetite has been a feature throughout and his second-half impact in particular looks like being a major factor in earning Derek McInnes his first win as Rangers manager.

Rangers come again and Findlay Curtis pulls an angled shot a foot or so wide.
Rangers 4-1 St Mirren
Rangers have their tails up now as they slice through the visitors.
Marcus Fraser makes a goal-line clearance to deny Findlay Curtis.
Rangers 4-1 St Mirren
Boos for a VAR check are quickly followed by cheers as the goal stands.
James Penrice
James Penrice's debut gets even better!
A great assist is quickly followed by a goal as the left-back is in the right place to sweep home inside a busy penalty area.
Rangers 3-1 St Mirren
Peter Lovenkrands
Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound
It's an absolutely fantastic ball from Penrice, first time to set up Gassama. St Mirren will be annoyed about that one again.
Djeidi Gassama
Nothing sluggish about this Rangers breakway!
St Mirren have got men up for a free-kick and James Penrice speeds away to set up Djeidi Gassama with a lovely pass.
Gassama hits it hard and low and the ball zips under goalkeeper Jacob Champman.
