:00:00.:00:00.

The One Show on the iPlayer. It is down to the last 16 in this William

:00:00.:00:10.

Hill Scottish Cup competition and the fifth round action starts right

:00:11.:00:16.

here, in the company of record-breaking Rangers goal scorer,

:00:17.:00:20.

and the man who helped Dunfermline to the Scottish Cup final and into

:00:21.:00:23.

Europe as well. They are known as Kris Boyd and Jimmy Nicholl. It is

:00:24.:00:31.

first against second in League One, no title race, 23 points apart,

:00:32.:00:36.

Rangers way ahead, do you think that is how it will pan out? you would

:00:37.:00:42.

expect so, but Dunfermline have made it hard for Rangers. They have got a

:00:43.:00:47.

victory in the two games played. It is a Cup game, anything can happen,

:00:48.:00:52.

but I expect Rangers to come through. I think five of the

:00:53.:00:58.

Dunfermline team are aged 20 or under, a daunting experience? It

:00:59.:01:09.

could be. Could be. But you imagine choosy as an up with the young ones,

:01:10.:01:14.

and no fear. But I think, one Jim has instilled in them according to

:01:15.:01:20.

the newspapers, and they could have some hope. Could Rangers' problem

:01:21.:01:32.

even sells? -- be themselves? Ibrox when close to fill can be a

:01:33.:01:37.

difficult place to play. It could be, but you are football player, you

:01:38.:01:41.

need to motivate yourselves, and I expect them to go through. When you

:01:42.:01:50.

look at how the last 16 and out, only seven Premiership teams in it,

:01:51.:01:55.

so it is a draw for the Cup romantics. It certainly is. I could

:01:56.:02:06.

not work out, when you think of some teams in the final, they have every

:02:07.:02:11.

opportunity, it they get the right drawer, and a bit of luck on the

:02:12.:02:16.

day. They will have to see off Dunfermline first and foremost

:02:17.:02:19.

tonight. And what level Rangers are at. Did you pitch them against

:02:20.:02:25.

mid-table Premiership team and they would be at that level? Difficult to

:02:26.:02:30.

say. A lot of experience in their team, I have played at that level. I

:02:31.:02:37.

expect them to give everyone in the Premiership game, winning the

:02:38.:02:42.

majority, but difficult when it used to be before Rangers were the big

:02:43.:02:47.

fish, they are now going to come back up, difficult for them, that

:02:48.:02:52.

they are still a massive club. The players they have right now, I do

:02:53.:02:56.

not know if they can do it week in, week out at that level. The two

:02:57.:03:02.

games against Furman, 4-1 to Rangers at East End Park, 3-1 here. All the

:03:03.:03:08.

statistics against Dunfermline. Tonight, the crowd has turned

:03:09.:03:14.

against them the last couple of games. They are still winning 2-1.

:03:15.:03:20.

And they could have made it 3-1, but the crowd turned against them. They

:03:21.:03:27.

have to be able to handle that, and it does not matter how many people

:03:28.:03:29.

here, you need to the goods. it does not matter how many people

:03:30.:03:40.

Need to produce the goods. The crowd can get onto you. They do

:03:41.:03:44.

not want the opposition to knock the game about -- knock the ball about,

:03:45.:03:50.

and keep possession. You expect them to go through. It will be

:03:51.:03:54.

interesting to see how they go about it. More from those two at half

:03:55.:04:01.

time, but let us get to the action, the first game of the fifth round of

:04:02.:04:05.

the William Hill Scottish Cup, the all League One meeting of Rangers

:04:06.:04:10.

and dumbfounded. Note to the commentators.

:04:11.:04:14.

Ally McCoist believes his side can win this competition. An unequivocal

:04:15.:04:20.

belief among the squad and supporters of Rangers that they can

:04:21.:04:26.

win this competition. While I went over the Dunfermline side, beaten

:04:27.:04:29.

twice this season, and likely to change the minds of those who doubt

:04:30.:04:34.

the Scottish Cup credentials, I went taking them I came closer to doing

:04:35.:04:41.

so. -- a win taking them. Hoping to progress themselves, but to do so,

:04:42.:04:46.

they will have to win at Ibrox for the first time since 1972, a 4-3

:04:47.:04:53.

win, and since then coming to Ibrox on 35 different occasions, 32

:04:54.:04:59.

defeats and three draws. It has not been a happy hunting ground for

:05:00.:05:07.

them. Dunfermline have been in the tunnel for the last couple of

:05:08.:05:10.

minutes, Rangers making their way out now. Royal blue against light

:05:11.:05:15.

blue tonight in Govan. The first of the first round ties in

:05:16.:05:34.

the William Hill Scottish Cup, plenty more to come over the

:05:35.:05:39.

weekend. -- first in the fifth round ties. It all begins here.

:05:40.:05:43.

CHEERING. Ally McCoist was obviously

:05:44.:06:04.

reasonably happy with the display at the weekend beating Beacon city, and

:06:05.:06:10.

the same team. -- beating Brechin City.

:06:11.:06:19.

Unfortunately for Jim Jeffries, three of his new signings are Cup

:06:20.:06:25.

tie tonight, Jonathan Page from Morton, Ross Forbes are Partick

:06:26.:06:30.

Thistle and Danny Grainger playing for St Mirren. So they are not

:06:31.:06:39.

involved. Andrew Little amongst the Rangers substitutes, back after a

:06:40.:06:43.

horror... Horrific facial injury. That man is Bobby Madden, took

:06:44.:07:00.

charge in last week's semifinal between Aberdeen and Saint Johnstone

:07:01.:07:09.

at Tynecastle. Jim Jeffries has been there, senior, done it, as has Ally

:07:10.:07:13.

McCoist. Ally McCoist winning the Scottish Cup just once as a Rangers

:07:14.:07:19.

player, Jim Jeffries bleeding Hearts to triumph. -- leading. And was Ally

:07:20.:07:30.

McCoist's last game as a Rangers player.

:07:31.:07:35.

At the end of December, the clerk, -- at the end of December, some good

:07:36.:07:50.

results. What are we expecting? Kill macro it could go either way. 17

:07:51.:07:58.

minutes before Rangers broke the deadlock in an earlier game. If

:07:59.:08:03.

Rangers can get ahead, it could be difficult for Don Bradman, but

:08:04.:08:08.

anything can happen. -- could be difficult for Dunfermline Athletic.

:08:09.:08:14.

Rangers did well in the first quarter in the last match against an

:08:15.:08:31.

Furman. -- against Dunfermline. . It is first against second in this.

:08:32.:08:36.

Rangers with a rampaging run early on from Wallace, nicked away by

:08:37.:08:44.

Lewis Martin, just 17. Lots of youngsters inside that Dunfermline.

:08:45.:08:56.

Going for gold, but comfortable enough for Ryan Scully. Let's roll

:08:57.:09:03.

across as body, but not enough on the final effort.

:09:04.:09:10.

Dunfermline on the ball just now. Ryan Williamson playing at midfield

:09:11.:09:16.

tonight, normally at full-back. He was trying to knock it through to

:09:17.:09:36.

Josh Falkingham, one of the elder statesman in the Dunfermline line-up

:09:37.:09:37.

this evening. Callum Morris, the Irishman, number

:09:38.:09:53.

five, 24, alongside Lewis Martin at 17, a learning cover these

:09:54.:09:57.

youngsters, forced into the team last season when they went into

:09:58.:10:02.

administration. They cannot sink or swim, these young boys have to learn

:10:03.:10:04.

quick. This is positive from Dunfermline.

:10:05.:10:33.

The fans away in the west corner of the Govan stand, very happy with

:10:34.:10:39.

that little move. A poor boy in, two against two, if he gets it in,

:10:40.:10:49.

Dunfermline have a chance. Alex Bushill -- Alex Whittle with the

:10:50.:10:50.

throw. Ian Black got winded there, things

:10:51.:11:04.

seem better in the Dunfermline camp just know after the financial

:11:05.:11:07.

hardship that is known around these parts as well. Jim Jeffries had to

:11:08.:11:15.

steady the ship at the end of last. -- last season. Sitting nicely in a

:11:16.:11:24.

play-off position. So difficult, because Rangers are in the

:11:25.:11:27.

division. Normally, Dunfermline would be the excess, the fancy team.

:11:28.:11:34.

And then, it is difficult, getting down to the nitty-gritty, and they

:11:35.:11:38.

know that Rangers will win that title.

:11:39.:11:53.

Good ball in, that put Bell under pressure. A free kick to Rangers,

:11:54.:12:04.

but promising from the visitors. A terrific ball from Ross Millen.

:12:05.:12:09.

Someone has to clear up, Cammy Bell translate, does his job, but I could

:12:10.:12:13.

start from Dunfermline, some balls from wide areas stop -- but a good

:12:14.:12:27.

start. Lawrence Shankland on loan , scoring against Rangers last season

:12:28.:12:31.

for Queens bar. The game at Hampden Park. -- Queens bar. The Aberdeen

:12:32.:12:39.

manager has high hopes for Lawrence Shankland, 18 years of age. 15 goals

:12:40.:12:49.

last season. Lee McCulloch has been scoring plenty this season, having

:12:50.:12:50.

12. Too much on the ball from Templeton

:12:51.:13:43.

for Lee Wallace, who survived the transfer window. He is such an

:13:44.:13:48.

important player for Ally McCoist, Lee Wallace. A potential match down

:13:49.:13:58.

that left-hand side, which is why Ryan Williamson is playing behind

:13:59.:14:03.

Ross Millen, two good ones, they know that Wallace will cause

:14:04.:14:08.

problems and they cannot give him an easy time. A spin and turn from Ryan

:14:09.:14:24.

Wallace. Shankland as the main striker tonight, outside the penalty

:14:25.:14:29.

area the despite the cross from Ryan Wallace, no option in the middle.

:14:30.:14:39.

Phil against Daly. -- fell. Rangers' top scorer so far. A free

:14:40.:14:44.

kick for Templeton. And where he is dangerous. It might come to Shiels,

:14:45.:14:53.

and it does, and Rangers have the early lead in this first game of the

:14:54.:15:00.

fifth round. Exactly what Rangers were looking for, getting themselves

:15:01.:15:03.

an early goal, but Dunfermline cannot be happy with the defending.

:15:04.:15:09.

I thought they would see them off, but did not clear their lines, and

:15:10.:15:16.

made to pay big time. A point that Ryan Scully, on loan from Partick

:15:17.:15:21.

Thistle, is making to his defenders. Injuries playing again from

:15:22.:15:24.

Templeton, which I said in the build-up. -- danger this playing. A

:15:25.:15:38.

ravaged season for Dean Shiels. But the 17-year-old field to deal with

:15:39.:15:43.

this. Shiels deck pocketed him. It is advantageous Rangers. You have to

:15:44.:15:50.

clear your lines. Ryan Williamson try to get a touch, but rolled into

:15:51.:15:57.

the bottom corner and no Dunfermline need to get themselves back into the

:15:58.:16:00.

game and it will not be easy doing it at Ibrox, where their record is

:16:01.:16:12.

so poor. There have been games at Ibrox this season we're Rangers have

:16:13.:16:15.

taken an early lead and have failed to kill off the opposition.

:16:16.:16:21.

Obviously, Dunfermline will hope that is the case. Not ideal to lose

:16:22.:16:26.

such an early goal. But there have been occasions where Rangers have

:16:27.:16:32.

been 1-0 up, but they do not score a second. You expect them to roll over

:16:33.:16:43.

claims. -- roll over teams. But there you go, Dunfermline almost

:16:44.:16:50.

immediately back into this. Shaun Byrne, Ryan Wallace both involved.

:16:51.:16:53.

We'll Rangers punished Dunfermline again? The goalkeeper came forward,

:16:54.:17:07.

did he get enough of the ball? Yes says the referee. It looked like

:17:08.:17:16.

being a really good save. A little bit more conviction at the other end

:17:17.:17:21.

and Dunfermline could have been level. Rangers fans have a sense of

:17:22.:17:31.

grievance now. Millen's ball in is Lou two's. An early goal certainly

:17:32.:17:40.

liven things up and stop -- livens things up.

:17:41.:17:55.

The fifth round continuing tomorrow with Celtic and Aberdeen early

:17:56.:18:02.

kick-off. The other matches in the afternoon, Hibernian playing Raith

:18:03.:18:10.

Rovers, Tim Johnson against Forfar. Cammy Bell heavily involved just a

:18:11.:18:13.

moment ago, I really good slipped all in, causing all kinds of

:18:14.:18:20.

problems. Here is Dean Shiels again, a collision after the ball

:18:21.:18:25.

has been played, I do not think the referee ever thought about a penalty

:18:26.:18:31.

kick, but saw one for Dean Shiels. -- sore one.

:18:32.:18:47.

Ryan Williamson will not want to look back on that Rangers goal. His

:18:48.:18:55.

manager was not happy when that went in, Jim Jeffries. He got back, took

:18:56.:19:01.

up a good position, awkward ball, you want one touch and clearing it,

:19:02.:19:06.

but as soon as he took the touch, the experienced player Dean Shiels

:19:07.:19:10.

so the chance, nixed it off him and produced a great finish. Templeton

:19:11.:19:15.

gets the free kick. Lewis Martin made his debut against

:19:16.:19:40.

Morton last April. Again the beneficiary of the fight Dunfermline

:19:41.:19:44.

had to cut costs almost a year ago now.

:19:45.:19:51.

Lee McCulloch did not look favourite to win that free kick, but when it

:19:52.:20:02.

he did. You wonder who will be the jumper, and Lee McCulloch gets up

:20:03.:20:07.

early, but a good challenge from Dunfermline defenders, not to let

:20:08.:20:12.

him get on target full 35 no, Lee McCulloch, winning the Scottish Cup

:20:13.:20:22.

twice in 2008 and 2009. -- 35 now. It is a Dunfermline free kick. I

:20:23.:20:30.

cannot see why that has been given. I think you see both hands on the

:20:31.:20:37.

back now. Not much of a shot, but still won, and still a free kick.

:20:38.:20:43.

Fraser Aird made a decent impression in the last round against Falkirk,

:20:44.:20:50.

Rangers struggling, and Aird came on, and even David Templeton came on

:20:51.:20:56.

and change the game in Rangers' favour. This is what wide players

:20:57.:21:03.

can do, getting at defenders. And they can also finish.

:21:04.:21:42.

Cammy Bell there, managed by Jim Jeffries at Kilmarnock, they're a

:21:43.:22:43.

long time, as was Jim Jeffries. He credits Jim Jeffries as the biggest

:22:44.:22:47.

influence on his career, Cammy Bell with a lot of injury problems when

:22:48.:22:50.

he was younger, eventually becoming the number one at Rugby Park. Now he

:22:51.:23:02.

is here. A man of the match performance in a previous game

:23:03.:23:04.

against Celtic, showing what he is capable of, not getting as much to

:23:05.:23:11.

do no playing for Rangers. He was terrific that day. 11 years he was

:23:12.:23:24.

at Dalmarnock, Scotland cap. -- at Kilmarnock.

:23:25.:23:45.

He knew what it took to win the Scottish club, Neil McCann, won with

:23:46.:23:54.

Hearts, four with Rangers, no a coach alongside Jim Jeffries at

:23:55.:24:00.

Dunfermline. Wonderful player, wanting to get the ball in play,

:24:01.:24:05.

what you want to instil in your team and the young players he will be

:24:06.:24:14.

working with. That was well won by Jon Daly, almost working it through

:24:15.:24:21.

to Shiels. Scored for Dundee United at this stage last season. United

:24:22.:24:24.

putting them out 3-0. Great defending. Nicky Law, very

:24:25.:24:45.

clever, moved into position where he was going to take up odd shot, and a

:24:46.:24:49.

defender gets across, uses his strength, calmly letting it roll

:24:50.:24:51.

out. Terrific. There is Nicky Clark on the left of

:24:52.:25:23.

Sandy Clark, his old man. Sandy, of course, doing well for

:25:24.:25:45.

Kilmarnock. Templeton went all the way from self! Scully dealing with

:25:46.:25:52.

it, but fortunate no one in Rangers colours followed up. Taken by

:25:53.:25:58.

surprise, but keep the ball out of the back of the net, managing that,

:25:59.:26:02.

but this is what David Templeton gives you running at pace, goes by

:26:03.:26:07.

defenders, takes the shot early, almost catching the keeper napping.

:26:08.:26:17.

Morris mopping up or Dunfermline on that occasion. The goal from Shiels

:26:18.:26:26.

the only one of the games so far. On eight minutes.

:26:27.:26:42.

Bitterly cold, but try night, south of the River Clyde in Glasgow. --

:26:43.:26:52.

but dry. In this Scottish Cup fifth round tie.

:26:53.:27:13.

Dunfermline fans still in good voice, despite their team losing

:27:14.:27:16.

that early goal. A couple of forays in the final

:27:17.:27:41.

third, but they have not been able to get Lawrence Shankland into the

:27:42.:27:46.

match yet. A couple of balls into wide areas, putting offenders under

:27:47.:27:50.

pressure, but nothing for a striker to feed off, no balls into feet to

:27:51.:27:55.

allow him to hold it and get the midfield players up in support.

:27:56.:28:03.

Shankland making a promising start to his loan period at Dunfermline.

:28:04.:28:12.

Two goals scored against East Fife. Ross Forbes and Danny Grainger is a

:28:13.:28:16.

board Cup tied, scoring in their debut. -- are both Cup tied.

:28:17.:28:35.

To be fear to Dunfermline left-back, Alex Whittle, trying to get up to

:28:36.:28:52.

their numbers in the Dunfermline attack. -- to be fair. He always

:28:53.:29:00.

takes the Rangers players on, will go one on one, and the final thing

:29:01.:29:07.

is to get the ball into the back of the net, not happening yet. Alex

:29:08.:29:14.

Whittle was at Liverpool for 11 years, a youngster for England under

:29:15.:29:16.

16 is. -- under-16s. No holds barred clearance from

:29:17.:29:39.

Callum Morris that time. Very impressed and stop everything he has

:29:40.:29:48.

managed to do has been quality. That is a Rangers free kick.

:29:49.:29:51.

Dunfermline have to pick up the post once again. The late challenge comes

:29:52.:30:04.

in, add that to give away a free kick. Now this will be right in on

:30:05.:30:09.

top of your defenders and your goalkeeper and Lee McCulloch, as he

:30:10.:30:14.

did before, will try to slip round the back post and see if you can do

:30:15.:30:22.

better with the header. McCulloch, Daly and Mohsni are all dangers in

:30:23.:30:29.

this kind of situation. It comes to nothing, though. Shankland getting

:30:30.:30:44.

it away for Dunfermline. It is two for Rangers! And two for

:30:45.:30:50.

Dean Shiels! They have more than a foot in this dodgy Cup water finals

:30:51.:30:57.

night. -- more than one foot in the Scottish Cup water finals no! John

:30:58.:31:02.

Daly, the most dangerous man in the air. The goalkeeper makes a good

:31:03.:31:08.

save, but when your luck is out, it is really eyed. But the header from

:31:09.:31:15.

Daly, the decent save, falls perfectly for Dean Shiels, who will

:31:16.:31:18.

never miss from there. A good ball in, John Daly doing what he does

:31:19.:31:25.

best, then to the man on his toes Dean Shiels. Exactly what you're

:31:26.:31:32.

saying in the build-up that, Ryan Wallace conceding the free kick, an

:31:33.:31:37.

unnecessary one with the foul on Ian Black. And Rangers have made him pay

:31:38.:31:43.

this time. Kept the pressure on, get the ball going in. And when you have

:31:44.:31:54.

Lee McCulloch and Daly, they are making Dunfermline paid. It is a

:31:55.:32:01.

real mountain to climb. What now for Dunfermline Athletic? They have a

:32:02.:32:08.

big problem here, 20 minutes to half time, already 2-0 down against the

:32:09.:32:12.

sides they last played them and hammered them 4-1 at East End Park

:32:13.:32:19.

just at the end of December. Absolutely ideal for Ally McCoist

:32:20.:32:26.

and his side, and Dean Shiels chasing that one down, and a slice

:32:27.:32:35.

from Scully. You can see the manager is

:32:36.:32:41.

disappointed at the way his team has conceded the goals. Self-inflicted.

:32:42.:32:44.

They should have known better. Templeton.

:32:45.:32:52.

He will be quite happy. There he is. You can see the difference, can't

:32:53.:33:02.

you? All animated. They want the players to keep doing what they are

:33:03.:33:07.

doing. Jim Jefferies, you cannot be sure. You will want to get through

:33:08.:33:14.

to half-time. -- he will want to get through to half-time. If they score

:33:15.:33:19.

next, they are right back in the game.

:33:20.:33:29.

It is all relative, of course, but Ally McCoist has a pretty poor

:33:30.:33:36.

record in the Scottish Cup, he has only one it wants. -- one it one

:33:37.:33:41.

time. For the Rangers, a Rangers player

:33:42.:33:53.

who is as decorated for him, he has a son -- 170 league titles, it is

:33:54.:34:05.

quite poor. It is strange. He lost one of those because of that leg

:34:06.:34:10.

break when he was playing against Portugal for Scotland.

:34:11.:34:24.

It will be some comeback for Dunfermline. Excellent ball. Ryan

:34:25.:34:34.

Wallace now. He can't spell. He needed the next goal. -- he casts

:34:35.:34:42.

doubt. He has got to take on the

:34:43.:34:54.

goalkeeper. Very difficult. He is Dunfermline's top scorer, Ryan

:34:55.:35:01.

Wallace. Still yet to beat Bell at that angle. The corner is taken by

:35:02.:35:05.

Whittle. Wasted back in by Millen. First ball

:35:06.:35:24.

comes in, good header by Daly. The second ball comes in, Rangers are

:35:25.:35:28.

not giving anything away. Whittle did enough that tried to

:35:29.:36:10.

spin it. -- Whittle did enough. Tried to spin it. Slipping and

:36:11.:36:16.

sliding. Eventually, Scully gets it away. He is unlucky, Dean Shiels. It

:36:17.:36:25.

got caught under his feet at the wrong moment. He shot on target, but

:36:26.:36:33.

is a reasonable save for Scully. Absolute killer for League One. Good

:36:34.:36:41.

play for Rangers. -- absolute killer for Dunfermline. I cannot stress

:36:42.:36:58.

enough that Dunfermline need this next goal. Otherwise it will be good

:36:59.:37:09.

night, the Anna. Wallace, then Falkenham.

:37:10.:37:36.

Needed to try something different. They do look at their most different

:37:37.:37:43.

-- dangerous when they are in the white areas. Just looking for the

:37:44.:37:49.

opening. They cannot find the one that is going to get them back into

:37:50.:37:53.

the ball and -- game and back into position.

:37:54.:38:03.

It is the ninth time these two have met in the Scottish Cup. That

:38:04.:38:11.

includes a replay in 2003. The draw came at East and Park. A draw in

:38:12.:38:20.

2003. The last time they met, Dunfermline 13-2. -- Dunfermline one

:38:21.:38:35.

the game, 3-2. The choir is a target this afternoon.

:38:36.:38:38.

They are very much in charge here. This is Dean Shiels. Rangers tenure

:38:39.:38:56.

did not last too long. Do not think for a minute he did not think at

:38:57.:39:00.

that point he was going to be the Rangers manager. What a performer

:39:01.:39:08.

Black was. Sitting in the dugout there. That was back in the early

:39:09.:39:23.

months of 2007. A lot has happened to Rangers since then. Falkenham,

:39:24.:39:37.

running the free kick. He has just been doing his job. That is always

:39:38.:39:45.

going to be a free kick in the modern game. Burn tried to force it

:39:46.:39:59.

out to Millen. All he has done is released Templeton. He can fly down

:40:00.:40:03.

that wing and he is now waiting for an option. Plenty more are arriving

:40:04.:40:09.

now as Dean Shiels goes for the curler. Dean Shiels did not have

:40:10.:40:18.

anything else in mind other than looking for yet another goal. Once

:40:19.:40:22.

tumbled ten is held up the does the right thing. Dean Shiels goes for

:40:23.:40:27.

the top corner but does not get enough on the ball to bring it back.

:40:28.:40:54.

Snuffed out by Ryan Scully. Quite clever, just knocking its past the

:40:55.:41:06.

defender. The goalkeeper came out and smothered it. Almost help

:41:07.:41:11.

themselves, though. Sebastian. Dean Shiels has had a good game so

:41:12.:41:44.

far tonight. I do not think he has been universally popular amongst the

:41:45.:41:51.

Rangers supporters. He has spent a lot of time on the sidelines and was

:41:52.:41:55.

not involved throughout the autumn but he has come back with a bang.

:41:56.:42:13.

He fancied his chances but he moved onto his left foot. Not quite so

:42:14.:42:19.

strong, that he decides to have a go. It just does not come down quick

:42:20.:42:25.

enough for him. He is not exactly the most prolific player, Black.

:42:26.:42:35.

Dean Shiels, in his area, because he is clever, he plays off the front.

:42:36.:42:40.

Dean Shiels plays that hold the find command because he is smart, he will

:42:41.:42:45.

always get on the ball. He is a quality finisher. He does not panic

:42:46.:42:55.

in the box. Ian Black, part of the Hearts team that won the 2012

:42:56.:43:00.

final. No sooner had he picked up the Scottish Cup medal that he was

:43:01.:43:10.

off to. -- that he was off to Ibrox. He was not popular when he

:43:11.:43:17.

was a Hearts man. Rangers fans have taken to him now. One challenge as a

:43:18.:43:26.

Hearts midfielder, playing in this neck of the woods. Every time he

:43:27.:43:33.

comes back here as a Hearts player, he was booed by supporters. You are

:43:34.:43:40.

never going to be popular with the fans if you are doing stuff like

:43:41.:43:46.

that. Just dominating that the midfield area. This is going to make

:43:47.:43:55.

the Dunfermline opposition work hard. Templeton. There will be no

:43:56.:44:06.

doubt, surely, about the outcome of this tie now. David Templeton adds

:44:07.:44:12.

some gloss to the score line before half-time. Surely, game over. Not

:44:13.:44:20.

dissimilar to the game they scored in the previous round. He comes in

:44:21.:44:25.

off the side. You have got to stand up. A short left, a short life -- a

:44:26.:44:33.

short left, a short right. Right foot, and then drills it under the

:44:34.:44:39.

goalkeeper. Rangers are waltzing their way through to the last eight.

:44:40.:44:49.

It would take a massive turnaround for Dunfermline to do anything about

:44:50.:44:52.

this situation that they have found themselves in. The priority this

:44:53.:44:59.

season for Dunfermline has been getting out of the league that they

:45:00.:45:03.

are in and making sure they stay in that playoff spot. The cup is an

:45:04.:45:09.

adventure, but I think that the adventure is over. This is David

:45:10.:45:16.

Templeton's seven the goal of the season, and he has not been a

:45:17.:45:20.

regular starter for Ally McCoist. He is pushing himself into that kind of

:45:21.:45:24.

role now. Talking about a McCoist in the Scottish Cup, David Templeton

:45:25.:45:31.

was left out when he was at Hearts in 2012. Nowhere to be seen in the

:45:32.:45:33.

squad list. His error really led to the first

:45:34.:45:57.

Rangers goal and he has not looked back since.

:45:58.:46:36.

Dunfermline have had just a few hat tricks in their history. It was

:46:37.:46:44.

always going to be a big ask for them. The disappointing thing is to

:46:45.:46:51.

lose the gold as easy as this. Tonight, they have made things count

:46:52.:46:54.

and they have made them count early, Rangers. It seems that they

:46:55.:47:01.

are playing in a different competition that has brought us out

:47:02.:47:05.

of them. They are determined to do well and to wind this competition.

:47:06.:47:09.

People have dealt to them, and it is going to make sure that the players

:47:10.:47:21.

have focused on the job tonight. He is in an important situation. They

:47:22.:47:28.

have got to get a ball into the box. Get the centre backs and see if you

:47:29.:47:32.

can put the pressure on the defence of the Rangers. As they push

:47:33.:47:36.

forward, the pace of the Rangers team, tumbled ten and the rest, --

:47:37.:47:41.

Templeton and the rest... Final five minutes of the first

:47:42.:47:54.

half. One way traffic. Dean Shiels and Templeton with the goals for

:47:55.:47:57.

Rangers. Shankland has not been able to key

:47:58.:48:15.

off -- heat off anything. Only four players that remained

:48:16.:48:36.

shouldn't before kick-off and the Dunfermline side -- only four

:48:37.:48:40.

players that we mentioned before kick-off and the Dunfermline side

:48:41.:48:47.

that are under 21. Get the big defenders forward. First things

:48:48.:48:52.

first, you have got to deliver into the box. Willing to take on your own

:48:53.:48:59.

defenders. There is a chance for Dunfermline, but it is only half a

:49:00.:49:03.

chance, and it is so important that when you have so many bodies into

:49:04.:49:08.

the box, you have a good pace. Callum Morris is one of those up to

:49:09.:49:15.

this. Can the Pars get something back before the break? It is a free

:49:16.:49:22.

kick for Millen. That does not do their cause any good at all. Ryan

:49:23.:49:30.

Wallace, it was nicked off of him by his namesake, Lee. Well done. Black

:49:31.:49:45.

is firing the ball out to Templeton. What a ball that was. Tumbled in --

:49:46.:49:56.

Templeton met by falcon him. Black. Daly. And Templeton.

:49:57.:50:08.

Held onto by Scully there. A first have to forget for Ryan Scully. He

:50:09.:50:19.

is on loan. Agricultural ball there. The

:50:20.:50:42.

important thing is, there is an experienced international player,

:50:43.:50:47.

and he did not give anything away. The game is won if you do not

:50:48.:50:52.

concede, so take no chances. Picked up a really daft red card against

:50:53.:50:58.

the bracket over the weekend, taking the ball off of the striker Andy

:50:59.:51:03.

Jackson. Sent off for that petulance.

:51:04.:51:17.

Immediately booked. You have to be very careful. If you go off your

:51:18.:51:26.

feet into a challenge, you have got to be rock-solid on the ball. He

:51:27.:51:30.

does not actually go through with the challenge. If you go off their

:51:31.:51:34.

feet like that, you are going to get booked. -- off your seat. Templeton

:51:35.:51:44.

knew it was coming. I think David Templeton got the

:51:45.:51:51.

worst of that challenge. Rangers are looking to meet -- are looking to

:51:52.:51:57.

make Dunfermline suffer some more before the interval.

:51:58.:52:10.

That was neck and perfect for Bilel Mohsni. He tried to go back across

:52:11.:52:14.

the old keeper. He cannot get on target.

:52:15.:52:23.

Played the 45. There will be no stoppage time. That is the half-time

:52:24.:52:31.

whistle. The goodies for Dunfermline is that the first-half misery is

:52:32.:52:39.

over, but they have a nether port five minutes to negotiate. -- the

:52:40.:52:42.

good news. Dean Shiels has been the chief tormentor, -- the good news

:52:43.:52:48.

for Dunfermline is that the first-half misery is over. Dean

:52:49.:52:54.

Shiels has been the chief tormentor. He grabbed himself a second in the

:52:55.:53:00.

rebound, with the Daly header. That was 2-0. Easy street at that point.

:53:01.:53:06.

It certainly is now after this come up from David Templeton will stop

:53:07.:53:11.

the third goal for Rangers in this type. These -- the Ibrox side is

:53:12.:53:18.

looking good. Rangers, spot on in that first half

:53:19.:53:33.

against Dunfermline and for Jim Jefferies and Company. A minor

:53:34.:53:40.

miracle might be needed. Is the game over? I think so. Dunfermline have

:53:41.:53:46.

probably worked all week on a game plan. I know you like to remain

:53:47.:53:56.

optimistic in these types of situations, but it could get a lot

:53:57.:54:00.

worse for Dunfermline. Leave it or not, I think the two managers are

:54:01.:54:06.

going to say the same thing. -- believe it or not. Ally McCoist will

:54:07.:54:11.

say, you have got to keep it going, lads. Do not take your foot off the

:54:12.:54:17.

gas. Jim Jefferies will be saying the same thing. The next goal is so

:54:18.:54:25.

vital. Jim Jefferies wants it to be 3-1. The boys need a bit of hope and

:54:26.:54:31.

belief, you know? That is all you can ask for in the second half. I do

:54:32.:54:35.

not know how they will score the goal because they have the big lads

:54:36.:54:40.

in the back. They are crossing balls. I cannot see them scoring

:54:41.:54:47.

from across. When they were playing to the middle third, that was when

:54:48.:54:54.

they were the vast, to me. -- the best. When you are playing against

:54:55.:55:00.

two giants, they are coming over top of you, it is difficult for the

:55:01.:55:05.

striker, that they have got a bit of success getting some crosses in. If

:55:06.:55:11.

they get down the sides, and get beyond the fullbacks and then cut

:55:12.:55:16.

the ball back, they could get a score from across, but certainly,

:55:17.:55:19.

they could give themselves a chance. You might as well go for it.

:55:20.:55:32.

You feel sorry for Ryan Williamson, but in the opening minutes, he tried

:55:33.:55:37.

to take a touch where you will not get that sort of time. No, not here.

:55:38.:55:43.

The first thing is to clear your lines, and what ever happens

:55:44.:55:48.

later... He has had an opportunity to clear. When you watch Dunfermline

:55:49.:55:54.

play, I think he is trying to get in, but there is a time and a place

:55:55.:56:00.

to do it. And Rangers do not need any help to be effectively gifted a

:56:01.:56:07.

goal. If the ball came to his left foot he would have hoped it. He is a

:56:08.:56:12.

little bit unsure. He is an opportunist assist -- opportunist.

:56:13.:56:24.

That was Rangers won up inside eight minutes. We have touched on it

:56:25.:56:29.

already, Dunfermline have asked one or two questions I Rangers, and

:56:30.:56:32.

there was some encouragement to be taken about what happened early on

:56:33.:56:37.

when they got some good balls in from the wide end. Some good and

:56:38.:56:44.

constructive stuff. I would like to see them get in. I think Dell was

:56:45.:57:01.

brave there. -- I think they'll -- I think Bell. It was encouraging, but

:57:02.:57:10.

it all came from the middle third. You lose that little bit of the

:57:11.:57:14.

leaf, you lose that bit of bravery, and it goes back to front to

:57:15.:57:19.

Shankland. No chance unless there is a good ball. The bulk of the good

:57:20.:57:26.

stuff has been played through. Dunfermline did not want to make

:57:27.:57:30.

that contribution to their own downfall. With saw Williamson in the

:57:31.:57:34.

penalty box. A needless free kick given away. That is a heavy touch.

:57:35.:57:46.

You put yourself under pressure. He just put the ball in the box. They

:57:47.:57:52.

keep it alive. -- you just put the ball in the box. They keep it alive.

:57:53.:57:57.

That is the one thing for Rangers tonight. They have been in the faces

:57:58.:58:02.

of Dunfermline all-night. The goal makes a great save, he gets in the

:58:03.:58:08.

way. It is dropped right at his beat. He is trying to admit it away.

:58:09.:58:15.

-- right at his feet. He is trying to get it away. You know Daly is

:58:16.:58:24.

there. People who are going for midfielders... Dunfermline do not

:58:25.:58:28.

have that kind of target up front. No. They have been good ball. Daly

:58:29.:58:35.

has been able to do something with them. I like the play with Dean

:58:36.:58:40.

Shiels and Templeton coming off the line. You might be trying to get a

:58:41.:58:46.

flick on. What a difference it makes. How good have Rangers been? I

:58:47.:58:55.

have enjoyed them, because of Templeton. I was looking at him and

:58:56.:58:59.

I was watching the game and thinking, he is coming in on the

:59:00.:59:07.

right and passing and taking balls and shooting, and then the one time

:59:08.:59:12.

that the young lad came on his left, he scored. At this minute in time,

:59:13.:59:16.

he is hot. You do not know what to do with him down the line. He is

:59:17.:59:23.

good with both feet. He shapes up to go. It is a great finish. He is

:59:24.:59:31.

doing the right thing. Templeton's balance is so good, it can go either

:59:32.:59:37.

way. That is a great shot across. I have been impressed with him, I must

:59:38.:59:43.

admit, Dean Shiels. It shows you what a bit of confidence does as

:59:44.:59:49.

well. You can make things happen. And you just said, Jimmy, talking

:59:50.:59:52.

before a few minutes ago, about the third goal, and how it was crucial.

:59:53.:59:58.

If Dunfermline can get it, they are back in the cup tie. The next goal

:59:59.:00:07.

is crucial. If it goes 3-1, a bit of tension creeps in, and if someone

:00:08.:00:12.

hits the been from 20 yards come I am telling you, Ally McCoist will be

:00:13.:00:21.

grabbing it. I knew a manager wants to set if you get in once you are

:00:22.:00:26.

halfway to a perfect game. The application has been the same and

:00:27.:00:30.

the second half as it has in the first half. If the Rangers become

:00:31.:00:37.

casual, they might allow Dunfermline to score a goal. They have got in

:00:38.:00:45.

their faces. They have managed to get the ball in dangerous areas.

:00:46.:00:51.

They probably should be more up stop Ryan Scully is online and he has

:00:52.:00:56.

been a busy goalkeeper. She has had some crucial saves and has been

:00:57.:01:01.

unlucky in one or two of the goals. But for him, Rangers would have

:01:02.:01:06.

been, or even in your language... He takes some heavy patches as well. --

:01:07.:01:21.

per henry touches. This is David Templeton doing what

:01:22.:01:28.

he does best. He is not afraid to shoot from anywhere. He is letting

:01:29.:01:32.

rip from any distance. Causing problems. He will get better and

:01:33.:01:40.

better for Rangers. We see the long ball, the next minute defending.

:01:41.:01:49.

Dean slips, but manages to get his shot away. What is keeping your

:01:50.:01:53.

belief, Dunfermline, whatever belief you had before the game, it is

:01:54.:02:01.

looking like a lost cause. And Dean Shiels is unlucky again there.

:02:02.:02:09.

Wallace should have scored. But Dean unlucky not to get his hat-trick at

:02:10.:02:16.

half-time. Here is how the rest of the Scottish Cup weekend pans out.

:02:17.:02:40.

Over the weekend, you will get the Phil Scottish Cup fifth round story,

:02:41.:02:48.

10:30pm Saturday highlights, 10:25pm on Sunday. -- the full.

:02:49.:03:10.

You can see all the chances opening up there for some of the lesser

:03:11.:03:14.

teams, nine teams from outside the Premiership, six of them below

:03:15.:03:21.

championship level, although it is all Premiership to round off the

:03:22.:03:27.

weekend at Sunday lunchtime. What about that Celtic and Aberdeen game

:03:28.:03:31.

tomorrow? Good Aberdeen do the un-thinkable and scored a goal

:03:32.:03:36.

against Celtic? They were the last team to do it, Aberdeen going to

:03:37.:03:41.

Celtic Park with confidence, some fantastic results over the past few

:03:42.:03:45.

weeks, Celtic by far the best team in the country right now, but

:03:46.:03:49.

Aberdeen hoping to pull off a shock result. It should be the toughest

:03:50.:03:56.

test Celtic have had for a while? Yeah, might prove to be, but when

:03:57.:04:03.

you have two good teams on form, it depends on how Celtic start. It is a

:04:04.:04:12.

fascinating one. What about your old team, Raith Rovers, at Easter Road?

:04:13.:04:21.

Could there be an upset? Two old teams. I forgot you have managed

:04:22.:04:28.

just about every team in the league. The problem is Raith Rovers have not

:04:29.:04:32.

scored in 2014. That is their problem. But the way they are going,

:04:33.:04:45.

I will be surprised if Raith Rovers pull off a shock. No Cowdenbeath or

:04:46.:04:50.

Dalmarnock, but anyone who grabs you from that? -- or Kilmarnock. If they

:04:51.:05:02.

can get to the quarterfinals, it is a great opportunity to have a

:05:03.:05:07.

showcase, even at Hampden Park, wherever it will be. If a lower

:05:08.:05:12.

league team gets to the semifinals, it is a great boost. This is the

:05:13.:05:18.

story so far in match one of the fifth round, Dean Shiels scoring

:05:19.:05:25.

after eight minutes and Ryan Williamson will be kicking himself

:05:26.:05:28.

for giving that away in the box, taking a touch he could not afford.

:05:29.:05:35.

And Shiels scored again. And it minutes before half-time, David

:05:36.:05:41.

Templeton scoring goal number three for Rangers and they are cruising

:05:42.:05:48.

halfway through, but Jimmy Nicholl reckons the story is not finished.

:05:49.:05:55.

Don't you? Sorry, I thought you were-- I am telling you, if it goes

:05:56.:06:06.

3-1--dot-1-macro it is unlike you not to speak. The first five or ten

:06:07.:06:14.

minutes will be crucial, not wanting to lose a goal. Dunfermline will

:06:15.:06:24.

need to do something. You are either out or give yourself another

:06:25.:06:28.

chance. Right now, I cannot yet. I think it will be five or six.

:06:29.:06:37.

Rangers will Dunfermline they will want the job done. Talking you

:06:38.:06:49.

through the Dunfermline changes during half time interval and

:06:50.:06:55.

through the second half, it is 3-1 Rangers during the break. Back to

:06:56.:07:03.

the commentators. Ross Millen and Shaun Byrne other

:07:04.:07:06.

Dunfermline Athletic players going off, replaced by Ryan Thomson and

:07:07.:07:13.

Faissal El Bakhtaoui, the Moroccan, who comes on to the park. He is a

:07:14.:07:18.

midfielder and can play up front. Rangers make their way back out onto

:07:19.:07:24.

the park. A seemingly comfortable and a syllable position. --

:07:25.:07:31.

comfortable unassailable vision. Dunfermline have won the Cup twice

:07:32.:07:36.

in their history, although it does not look like they are progressing

:07:37.:07:41.

further. 1961 was there first, a 2-1 replay against Celtic. And in 1968,

:07:42.:07:53.

the defeated Hearts 3-1. But it is Rangers who have won this

:07:54.:07:59.

competition 33 times who looked like they are easing their way into the

:08:00.:08:05.

last eight. The draw is made in the wake of that Dundee United and St

:08:06.:08:11.

Mirren game on Sunday, directly after that, no changes for Rangers,

:08:12.:08:16.

Dunfermline have two for the second half, no underway, Jim Jeffries

:08:17.:08:23.

trying to shake things up. Trying to go for the 4-4-2 formation, El

:08:24.:08:34.

Bakhtaoui upfront, and you have two players up front, see if you can get

:08:35.:08:38.

the ball, making it stick, but the most important thing is Dunfermline

:08:39.:08:42.

cannot afford to concede a game especially in early -- concede

:08:43.:08:47.

again, especially early in the second half. Torture campaign for

:08:48.:08:56.

Dunfermline last season, will it be a tortuous 45 minutes here?

:08:57.:09:18.

Rangers looking to steam roll Dunfermline. And a hat-trick,

:09:19.:09:33.

Rangers adding to the already huge lead, 4-0 up no all stop the last

:09:34.:09:40.

thing Dunfermline needed. Look at the smile on the face of Ally

:09:41.:09:44.

McCoist, the perfect dart to the second 45, deals she's -- perfect

:09:45.:09:53.

start to the second 45, Dean Shiels. He was not going to mess from there.

:09:54.:09:58.

Any chance the firm and had is now well and truly gone. Even Jimmy

:09:59.:10:05.

Nicholl would have to admit this game is gone for Dunfermline after

:10:06.:10:10.

this, I could run by Wallace, Scully thought he had done enough. -- a

:10:11.:10:18.

good run. Shiels took over and he has his hat-trick. He now has seven

:10:19.:10:22.

for the season, an injury ravaged and for Rangers number ten. --

:10:23.:10:32.

injury ravaged season. It could be a long, long second-half or

:10:33.:10:42.

Dunfermline all stop -- for Dunfermline. They had gone forward,

:10:43.:10:49.

but could not get back, and Rangers picked it up and.

:10:50.:11:00.

Rangers fans who have come to the game tonight, those watching, will

:11:01.:11:21.

be licking their lips at the prospect of Sunday's draw. Quite

:11:22.:11:30.

confident they can dispatch top-flight competition. They have to

:11:31.:11:36.

believe that, paying good money on quality players, and they should be

:11:37.:11:40.

able to take on teams in the top division without having a problem,

:11:41.:11:44.

but not doing that on a week to week basis, making it difficult on the

:11:45.:11:54.

odd occasion. It was for this cadence of competition that -- this

:11:55.:12:04.

kind of competition, the Scottish Cup and League Cup, the Rangers

:12:05.:12:05.

played for. Interesting to know if that was a

:12:06.:12:15.

shot or a cross, because it is yet another great run from Lee Wallace.

:12:16.:12:23.

Smashing that way at cross hoping to find Jon Daly.

:12:24.:12:56.

Shiels having some game tonight, loving it out there. He is

:12:57.:13:04.

relentless at the moment. Exactly what the Rangers fans are looking

:13:05.:13:07.

for, a game that looks done and dusted looks easy to go off the gas,

:13:08.:13:16.

but Rangers have to keep the focus, keep the tempo up. Rangers have put

:13:17.:13:20.

Nicky Law out there. Almost four Mohsni. -- for. Not too

:13:21.:13:52.

difficult, scoring from that position this season, and that was a

:13:53.:14:02.

real bad miss. He reckoned he would score 20 this season. Never one of

:14:03.:14:10.

your targets? 20 in a career. Then you doing well as a centre half.

:14:11.:14:31.

McCulloch patrolling the Rangers rearguard. Two Scottish Cup winners

:14:32.:14:41.

and Queen of the South and Falkirk, the last time Rangers won the

:14:42.:14:43.

Scottish Cup, 2009, Rangers have suffered just one

:14:44.:15:02.

defeat all season, it came at Forfar in the League Cup, in August, after

:15:03.:15:07.

extra time. The first round of the League Cup, and an early blow for

:15:08.:15:12.

the Rangers supporters, for Ally McCoist as well, and they want to

:15:13.:15:16.

make an impression on these competitions. Doubly determined to

:15:17.:15:19.

do well in this one. Very difficult for Andy Geggan, when

:15:20.:15:47.

you are faced with David Templeton in this kind of form, going left,

:15:48.:15:53.

right, takes the contact, earns his team a free kick in a dangerous

:15:54.:16:00.

area. Ross Millen, one of the players that went off in half-time,

:16:01.:16:06.

the son of Andy Millen, man of many clubs. Dunfermline not making a bad

:16:07.:16:16.

start to this one, but the eighth minute and done -- undone. In the

:16:17.:16:23.

early minutes, they seemed to want to take the game to Rangers, but a

:16:24.:16:28.

different story as Jon Daly received treatment on his left thigh. He has

:16:29.:16:36.

-- on his left eye. He has taken a bang. Ryan Scully with Sun hopes the

:16:37.:16:44.

scoreline does not get any worse for him -- waits and hopes.

:16:45.:16:57.

Not one of Big Lee's best. McCulloch has scored some absolute belter is

:16:58.:17:06.

from distance, but does not quite catch that one. -- belters.

:17:07.:17:29.

Dunfermline have only failed to score in four of their 30 games this

:17:30.:17:35.

is in. Anything they get tonight will be consolation. That was

:17:36.:17:43.

Whittle on Aird. He has missed the ball, court Fraser Aird, gets up

:17:44.:17:49.

quickly, gets out of there, because some referees might have thought

:17:50.:17:52.

about reaching for the yellow card, but Alex Whittle, one of the players

:17:53.:18:06.

capable of causing problems. A change of shark for -- change of

:18:07.:18:17.

shirt for Daly. Dunfermline trying to solidify their place in the

:18:18.:18:18.

play-off positions. 23 behind the league leaders who

:18:19.:18:35.

they are losing 4-02 tonight -- 4-0 to tonight. Nicky Law slaloms

:18:36.:18:42.

himself into Dunfermline territory. I shout for handball from the

:18:43.:18:59.

supporters and Ally McCoist wanting a penalty there as well. -- a shout.

:19:00.:19:11.

Ryan Thomson, who has been around the club for a while now.

:19:12.:19:16.

Dunfermline on the ball just now. This is better build-up from

:19:17.:19:43.

Dunfermline, and a corner as well. Good patient build-up and, when that

:19:44.:19:46.

ball was coming in, there were three Dunfermline jerseys in there, making

:19:47.:19:50.

easing ground. That pressure remains on.

:19:51.:20:02.

He will want a clean sheet no, Cammy Bell. -- now. To go with the 12

:20:03.:20:14.

others he has managed. The Dunfermline delivery, when they have

:20:15.:20:21.

had corner kick and free kick situations, has not been good

:20:22.:20:25.

enough. The manager will be tearing his hair out, it just relieves

:20:26.:20:30.

pressure when they get there, but the final ball is the most important

:20:31.:20:34.

thing, and Dunfermline not producing anything at all. And it looks like

:20:35.:20:46.

Rangers will get the free kick here. The referee felt that Ryan Thomson

:20:47.:20:59.

has taken Mohsni out of the game. One man's obstruction is another's

:21:00.:21:01.

standing his ground. Templeton, getting the Rangers goal

:21:02.:21:27.

that was not scored by Dean Shiels tonight. Shiels with a treble.

:21:28.:21:44.

A little bit of a lull in the game, you can just then is that the crowd,

:21:45.:21:51.

the Dunfermline fans as well, will know this game is gone, and one or

:21:52.:21:56.

two Rangers players needing to pick up the pace. It is a decent crowd

:21:57.:22:01.

tonight, we know the game is live on the television, a cold night,

:22:02.:22:06.

difficult, not a lot of money about, but the fans who have turned up well

:22:07.:22:10.

entertained so far, but you do not want the game to be so flat. Lovely

:22:11.:22:17.

play from Templeton, knocked away by Martin. The first thing you would do

:22:18.:22:24.

as a player tonight is get the ball to David Templeton, on fire, get

:22:25.:22:29.

involved every chance you get, get the ball into wild areas, he will

:22:30.:22:34.

make something happen and web up the crowd. -- whip up. In his mid-20s

:22:35.:22:42.

now, David Templeton. A wonderful option at left-back, Lee

:22:43.:23:08.

Wallace, for Rangers and still part of Gordon Strachan's plan for

:23:09.:23:14.

Scotland. Unfortunate, the level he is playing, but he has pace and

:23:15.:23:17.

strength, exactly what we need in Scotland. Rangers choose the short

:23:18.:23:23.

option again. When he tried to win it back, it

:23:24.:23:47.

fell into Rangers' position. A good save again by Scully, pulling off a

:23:48.:23:53.

few of those this evening, far from disgraced despite the scoreline. It

:23:54.:24:00.

is a good save, because he does not yet until late, coming through a

:24:01.:24:04.

rack of players, Rangers keeping the pressure on, good play from Fraser

:24:05.:24:09.

Aird. Good one from the keeper, not seeing much of that. Ryan Scully in

:24:10.:24:18.

the goal for Dunfermline, struggling in Partick Thistle.

:24:19.:24:24.

A chance for first-team football at Dunfermline. A trying nightfall he

:24:25.:24:34.

and team-mates, though. -- trying night for he.

:24:35.:24:59.

To Lawrence Shankland, playing a role that so many strikers before

:25:00.:25:05.

him have had to play, coming to games in Glasgow in particular. A

:25:06.:25:11.

thankless task, running all night long with Bierley at touch of the

:25:12.:25:20.

ball -- with barely. He arrived this summer, and his pile, Andy

:25:21.:25:24.

Robertson, went to Dundee United, making a big impression at Dundee

:25:25.:25:33.

United. Shankland has not forced his way into the Aberdeen first-team,

:25:34.:25:36.

hence his move to Dunfermline last month. Could be a lot happier

:25:37.:25:43.

tonight, not just with the fact they are 4-0 up, but the performance,

:25:44.:25:48.

they have turned on the after burners, we're perhaps they have not

:25:49.:25:55.

done that in recent league games. Probably annoyed this is the kind of

:25:56.:25:59.

standard they can play too, the kind they have set tonight, and he will

:26:00.:26:03.

expect that in the weeks to come, not just Cup ties, but the league

:26:04.:26:08.

they are playing in, and of Rangers play with this kind of focus and

:26:09.:26:11.

intensity, they will do well. I am not sure that is what Fraser

:26:12.:26:26.

Aird intended. It could be some championship next season, Rangers

:26:27.:26:29.

heading up there without question, as champions of League One. Hearts

:26:30.:26:34.

will not give up until the last moment, but it looks as though they

:26:35.:26:38.

will be in that division, and you could have Falkirk, Dundee,

:26:39.:26:44.

Hamilton, Raith Rovers. But Dunfermline will also hope to be

:26:45.:26:49.

involved. Some of the biggest clubs playing in a division with people

:26:50.:26:50.

they do not want to see. Could be another from the top flight

:26:51.:27:05.

goes down this season, the play-offs have been introduced all stop --

:27:06.:27:10.

introduced. Templeton for Law, intelligently

:27:11.:28:00.

done. I think Ian Black. That would drop to him on the volley. -- I

:28:01.:28:17.

think he thought. Applause from the manager, appreciating David

:28:18.:28:21.

Templeton tonight. He is a matchwinner, not too many like that

:28:22.:28:30.

in Scotland. David Templeton what he needs to add to what he has is

:28:31.:28:34.

consistency. If he does this every week, what a player for Rangers and

:28:35.:28:40.

an asset for the game north of the border.

:28:41.:28:47.

A free kick to Rangers, the challenge on Aird. Ally McCoist's

:28:48.:28:59.

122nd game in charge of the club, won 87, about to turn to 88, losing

:29:00.:29:10.

17, drawing 17. That only Scottish Cup winners medal coming against

:29:11.:29:17.

Airdrie. Injury robbed them of the 1993 and 1996 finals, losing against

:29:18.:29:30.

Celtic and Dundee United in previous ties as well.

:29:31.:29:49.

That was good challenging. Falkingham helping his defence

:29:50.:30:00.

there, just as it looked like Nicky Law would pool the trigger or cut it

:30:01.:30:04.

back for a team-mate to make it five. Terrific ball from David

:30:05.:30:11.

Templeton, played it perfectly with Nicky Law, then God between two

:30:12.:30:15.

stools -- then caught. It has been a few short corners

:30:16.:31:09.

recently for Rangers, another here for Ian Black. He only had one

:31:10.:31:21.

intention. He may have considered looking for the past if it was 0-0.

:31:22.:31:26.

Dunfermline did not come out quick enough. Again, similar to the first

:31:27.:31:33.

half, striking it well, just could not get it down quick enough, plenty

:31:34.:31:36.

power, just does not hit the target. Kenny may goal alongside

:31:37.:31:48.

Ally McCoist there, part of the St Mirren squad when the won in 1987.

:31:49.:31:53.

The Dundee United famous victory for Alex met all stop -- Kenny McDowell

:31:54.:32:02.

alongside. Just over seven years since Walter

:32:03.:32:08.

Smith was in charge. Into the final quarter of this fifth

:32:09.:32:49.

round tie, it was finished a long time ago, though. What will the

:32:50.:32:55.

final score would be? That is the only question left. Templeton

:32:56.:33:03.

running into a brick wall there. Ryan Wallace, flicked through to

:33:04.:33:13.

Bell. Dunfermline, you have to say, a quarterfinal in the Scottish Cup

:33:14.:33:19.

is great for money, prestige, the opportunity of progressing in a

:33:20.:33:22.

competition, but the bread-and-butter you feel is more

:33:23.:33:25.

important to Dunfermline this season, coming through the worst of

:33:26.:33:30.

their financial troubles are you go, having the relegation, but seem to

:33:31.:33:34.

be on more of an even keel, no getting back into that championship.

:33:35.:33:41.

Exactly, and when you look at the players, such as Danny Grainger,

:33:42.:33:47.

Jonathan Fox, -- Jonathan Page, they could have helped, but a lot of

:33:48.:33:52.

youngsters, certainly hoping that Jim Jeffries has asked was strong

:33:53.:33:57.

enough, and certain to get into the play-offs, but they could be good

:33:58.:33:59.

enough to get themselves through. The final 19 minutes. What do you

:34:00.:34:52.

make of the under 19 international, born in Canada?

:34:53.:35:09.

It will be difficult to claim. He gets it up there. It looked worse

:35:10.:35:17.

than it was. Final change for Dunfermline. I am

:35:18.:36:20.

not sure he wants to come on with just 17 minutes to go. Slide it

:36:21.:36:32.

through towards Shankland. He will be hoping for better luck

:36:33.:37:05.

than earlier this season when he got a red card after 70 minutes. Rangers

:37:06.:37:15.

go into it comfortably. He is a prolific striker in the youth team.

:37:16.:37:23.

A lot of the players here were in the final of the Scottish youth cup

:37:24.:37:29.

a few seasons back, lost to Celtic. It was a good experience for the

:37:30.:37:32.

young players getting to play in that game. That was a decent game,

:37:33.:37:41.

the youth cup final. Looking for the high-fives. Saved by Scully. Another

:37:42.:37:50.

save from Ryan Scully. He does well, but I thought David Templeton did so

:37:51.:37:58.

well again. He does not get much on the final effort. Andrew Whittle

:37:59.:38:04.

will be on for Rangers in a few moments. Here is the opportunity.

:38:05.:38:15.

Great feet from David Templeton. Was that the most difficult save for the

:38:16.:38:20.

Pars number one. Trying to get promoted to the

:38:21.:38:31.

Premiership, Dunfermline. Here comes Jordan more, who is on loan from

:38:32.:38:38.

Dundee United. The cheers go up before Dean Shiels. One Northern

:38:39.:38:50.

Irishman off, one going on. Acclaim from the Rangers fans tonight. Three

:38:51.:38:55.

of the four goals for Rangers have come from him. He just shows that he

:38:56.:38:59.

is class apart. Playing in this division, he is far too good for

:39:00.:39:06.

that, and he is good to do wheat in, out, and when he is in form, he can

:39:07.:39:16.

do well. Jordan Moore has been prolific in the youth league.

:39:17.:39:24.

Ian Black hit the bar. He has been trying to do that, trying to score

:39:25.:39:34.

our might, and he is getting closer. He is working that left foot. A

:39:35.:39:39.

couple of decent efforts, and then an absolute beauty there. So

:39:40.:39:44.

unlucky. You can see the disappointment etched on his face,

:39:45.:39:50.

as yet again, he produced a space, he hit it well, and it is cracked. I

:39:51.:39:58.

am not sure he hit that correctly there, Ian Black. Took a little

:39:59.:40:05.

bobble just before he hit it. But he was close. The ball just sits up

:40:06.:40:16.

there and be layer headset. -- the player. Absolutely brilliant from

:40:17.:40:24.

Templeton. Ryan Scully has prevented this. He has been brilliant for

:40:25.:40:31.

Dunfermline between the sticks tonight. 19,396 inside Ibrox Stadium

:40:32.:40:41.

tonight. It has just been confirmed. Ryan Scully get his hands on the

:40:42.:40:56.

ball again. It has been a good work-out for tonight. David

:40:57.:41:02.

Templeton, tormentor in chief again. A good save from the goalkeeper.

:41:03.:41:13.

Great reaction. Dunfermline cannot retreat to the kingdom quickly

:41:14.:41:14.

enough. Ally McCoist is raging at that

:41:15.:41:27.

decision. Looking for a bit of consolation.

:41:28.:42:11.

The graft and the effort that has been put into it. They deserve

:42:12.:42:15.

something from the evening. It is a tough one to take. They have never

:42:16.:42:33.

for a minute let up. A hard debut was made here in January 2010. Andy

:42:34.:42:40.

Whittle, Scott Robertson, they traded goals that day. Since then,

:42:41.:42:48.

-- since then... Rangers about to bring and Robbie

:42:49.:43:12.

Crawford. -- bring on. Their final change. Dunfermline have used all of

:43:13.:43:17.

theirs. Templeton once a come back there.

:43:18.:43:52.

Interesting to see the substitution for Rangers, to see if anybody is

:43:53.:43:57.

struggling. Templeton is due a standing ovation for his performance

:43:58.:44:11.

tonight. Into the final ten. A one-sided club five. Certainly

:44:12.:44:16.

one-sided at the score line. -- club tie.

:44:17.:44:29.

He spooked Morris with a challenge there, Templeton. The referee is in

:44:30.:44:36.

a good position to see any wrongdoing there. Maurice does not

:44:37.:44:41.

look like he is going to argue his case.

:44:42.:44:49.

The second one he was certainly not getting away with. Robbie Crawford,

:44:50.:44:56.

who scored Rangers a fourth gold at East End Park in December, was

:44:57.:45:05.

beaten at Rangers. He made his breakthrough last season.

:45:06.:45:24.

He loses out. A flight path. -- a slice of past and...

:45:25.:46:05.

Wallace's cross. Too much on it, though. A decent ball into the back

:46:06.:46:17.

post. A couple of light blue jerseys in there. Trying to sneak around the

:46:18.:46:23.

back. Every ball that has come in from the wide area, there has been

:46:24.:46:28.

an extra defender in there. They have not given Dunfermline an inch.

:46:29.:46:36.

Next up for Rangers is a trip to that magnificent arena of the

:46:37.:46:41.

Somerset Park to take on one of the traditional venues of Scottish

:46:42.:46:48.

football. It is their next league game. It is their march towards the

:46:49.:46:52.

title among which they will wind in a matter of weeks, it seems. -- win.

:46:53.:47:11.

Martin has blocked, and now it is Daly. Templeton arrives in the

:47:12.:47:13.

middle. Knocking the ball about with

:47:14.:47:49.

freedom. The finals of the cup is on Sunday.

:47:50.:48:07.

Dundee United. Good play. Same old story, though.

:48:08.:48:44.

After a great run, the final ball, the defender can clear it. You have

:48:45.:48:49.

to stand at the back post and hope that someone has made a proper run.

:48:50.:48:58.

Thomson amongst those waiting for this corner kick. One of his better

:48:59.:49:05.

ones. Well played by Cala Morris. He got

:49:06.:49:26.

himself up between the men and the ball. -- Callum Morris.

:49:27.:49:52.

Some good-looking ties coming up over the weekend, none more so than

:49:53.:50:25.

Celtic against Aberdeen. Dundee United taking on Saint Mirren

:50:26.:50:46.

on Sunday. And you can see highlights of all of those games at

:50:47.:50:52.

10:30pm tomorrow evening, and on Sunday, 10:25pm. That will be on

:50:53.:51:02.

BBC's Scotland. Sportscene. That is a free kick for Dunfermline as they

:51:03.:51:09.

try to get a bit of respectability. It is difficult to tell he made the

:51:10.:51:16.

final tackle, but it is a real opportunity. -- who made. It is

:51:17.:51:19.

Morris who got the yellow card. So, the number nine stands firm.

:51:20.:51:32.

Still there, though. Dunfermline have spent the last ten

:51:33.:52:23.

minutes wrapped up with Bell's run, but finishing the game positively at

:52:24.:52:29.

least. I think it is good news, they never for a minute a bout, they kept

:52:30.:52:42.

fighting. -- for a minute gave up. Black releasing Templeton. Do

:52:43.:52:54.

Rangers have a fifth goal in them? That is game over, isn't it? It is a

:52:55.:53:04.

4-0, there is no need for that. The referee had to push them aside. One

:53:05.:53:11.

or two more experienced players should get over there and shut the

:53:12.:53:23.

team-mates away. One player is the most notable player to suffer from

:53:24.:53:27.

that and he will miss next month's league cup final. David Templeton

:53:28.:53:35.

picks up what is a completely unnecessary yellow here, and he may

:53:36.:53:38.

pay for that later in the competition. He feels he has been

:53:39.:53:45.

fouled. He is trying to get the ball and then there is a shove and

:53:46.:53:49.

another shove. Then the referee comes across and he will take

:53:50.:53:59.

action. Rangers fans are upset with David Templeton being booked because

:54:00.:54:11.

of that. Jordan more. A couple of minutes added on to the match, two

:54:12.:54:20.

minutes. Wait a minute. The handbags between Templeton and Whittle might

:54:21.:54:28.

add eight U seconds. Bilel Mohsni, if the referee sees that, Wallace is

:54:29.:54:35.

booked, and it could be Bilel Mohsni who picked up a yellow card, and

:54:36.:54:40.

that is not a good plan when he was sent off a couple of weeks ago. He

:54:41.:54:44.

should be very careful or he will miss some very important games. Such

:54:45.:54:51.

as Villy -- such a silly yellow card he picked up your -- up here. It is

:54:52.:54:58.

a free kick that has gone in the way of Rangers. Presumably for a

:54:59.:55:06.

handball. He is under a lot of pressure. But he goes down and lands

:55:07.:55:13.

on the ball. I think it is a hard one. I am not sure if the referee

:55:14.:55:17.

was going to give the penalty, but he is unlucky, because I thought he

:55:18.:55:23.

produced enough. There is a man who has made the biggest difference

:55:24.:55:28.

tonight, Dean Shiels. That has proved more than decisive for

:55:29.:55:32.

Rangers, who are through to the quarterfinals. Ally McCoist shaking

:55:33.:55:36.

hands with Jim Jeffries, who will not have been happy with some of the

:55:37.:55:40.

defending. David Templeton stuck in a goal after an amazing run. That's

:55:41.:55:50.

pretty much sealed it for the Ibrox side. Brilliant performance for

:55:51.:55:55.

Dunfermline from Ryan Scully. It could have been a lot worse, what

:55:56.:56:05.

for him. South of the River Clyde in Glasgow, at Ibrox Stadium, it is the

:56:06.:56:11.

Rangers to our first through to the quarterfinals, with a victory here,

:56:12.:56:13.

a comfortable victory. Yes, the draw is on Sunday. The day

:56:14.:56:31.

United against Saint Mirren. -- Dundee United. Rangers are already

:56:32.:56:36.

in that draw for the next round of the competition. Let's get after

:56:37.:56:42.

match thoughts. Chris, that is what you call comprehensive. Yes, but

:56:43.:56:49.

right from the off, they got in their faces. It was a tidy

:56:50.:56:58.

performance to get them over the finish. They won the game in the

:56:59.:57:15.

first half. will they be disappointed? They will come out of

:57:16.:57:21.

the park shattered. They will be shattered. They really will be. It

:57:22.:57:29.

is like everything else. You pick them the sharper pick yourselves up.

:57:30.:57:36.

-- you pick yourselves up. They had 4-0. It was ever a contest after

:57:37.:57:47.

that. -- never a contest. It would have been interesting if it was 3-1.

:57:48.:57:52.

The quality of the hat trick, and Templeton and all I'm a it is

:57:53.:58:00.

massive. -- Templeton, it is massive. I loved working with Dean

:58:01.:58:07.

Shiels. He is a great enthusiast for the game. They got some help,

:58:08.:58:14.

though, Rangers, because of the mistake in the eighth minute that

:58:15.:58:18.

effectively gifted the opener to Rangers. The last thing you want to

:58:19.:58:26.

do is find yourself a goal down inside ten minutes. To be fair,

:58:27.:58:33.

Dunfermline, I think the class of Rangers came through. Dean Shiels

:58:34.:58:41.

used his body. It was a great finish. I thought he was fantastic

:58:42.:58:50.

throughout. I felt a bit sorry for Ryan Scully. He tried to scoop this

:58:51.:58:57.

away. He set it up for Dean Shiels. There were great reactions in the

:58:58.:59:06.

second half. The second half, that was a key moment in the game. Dean

:59:07.:59:15.

Shiels and a boot -- and Templeton. There were problems all night for

:59:16.:59:20.

Dunfermline. The left back did not know whether to pick them up or not.

:59:21.:59:27.

They got a couple of strikes as well. It was a good work-out for

:59:28.:59:34.

Rangers. Ally McCoist will be delighted. Two minutes into the

:59:35.:59:44.

second half... Delighted with the start of the second. When you see

:59:45.:59:55.

Templeton, Wallace has created a lot of space behind, or it is a great

:59:56.:00:02.

ball, it is finished, there are not many people that can walk away with

:00:03.:00:08.

that hat trick. A good night for Dean Shiels, with three of those

:00:09.:00:13.

four Rangers goals. How will Jim Jefferies look back on tonight 's?

:00:14.:00:18.

He will be looking -- on tonight which Mark his body language tells

:00:19.:00:24.

its own strict -- on tonight? His body thing which tells its own

:00:25.:00:30.

story. I do not think he will be too hard on the kids. He did not

:00:31.:00:38.

realise. He thought it was a youth team. It is a learning curve for the

:00:39.:00:41.

young players. You can get punished at this level. I do not think he

:00:42.:00:46.

will be too hard on them. I kept plugging away at it. They actually

:00:47.:00:52.

played the best football towards the end of the game. They kept going.

:00:53.:00:59.

They kept going and never threw the towel in. They kept going. They

:01:00.:01:07.

might have had the penalty. Maybe it'll get them something. They kept

:01:08.:01:12.

going. They have been beat, but they have kept going to stop that is the

:01:13.:01:18.

important thing. Is it difficult to -- they kept going. That visit --

:01:19.:01:25.

that is the important thing. There is obviously a golf and quality.

:01:26.:01:35.

When they are faced with challenges, if they come up against

:01:36.:01:44.

membership opposition, they beat Falkirk in the league cup, I think,

:01:45.:01:50.

so they are tough. Rangers will rise to the occasion. It is up to the

:01:51.:01:55.

players to remain focused and get the job done and the leaks first.

:01:56.:02:00.

That is them up against the best tonight in league one. -- in League

:02:01.:02:10.

One. Exactly right, and Ally McCoist knows. It will be a sign of how they

:02:11.:02:18.

are progressing. You cannot judge these games. They are Premiership

:02:19.:02:25.

players said they will be judged when they come up against

:02:26.:02:30.

Premiership teams. -- so they will. They are able to get a Premiership

:02:31.:02:36.

team. These players want to be involved in the bigger occasions. It

:02:37.:02:39.

is the same teams that are playing every week. You want to test

:02:40.:02:47.

yourself against the best. The parent ship teams who are left in

:02:48.:02:51.

that draw on Sunday -- the Premiership teams who are left in

:02:52.:02:54.

the draw on Sunday, are you concerned about the League One

:02:55.:02:57.

leaders? They are not playing against top class opposition every

:02:58.:03:02.

week. They are not used to it. They will look back and say, Rangers are

:03:03.:03:09.

top of the league. They are not playing that sort of competition.

:03:10.:03:13.

But then, you are hoping, and Ally McCoist will be hoping, that the

:03:14.:03:18.

boys will rise to the occasion. It is like everything else. It is that

:03:19.:03:22.

fear of losing. Rangers players will not have that fear of losing every

:03:23.:03:27.

week because they will go and play. Sometimes they will have a wobble.

:03:28.:03:32.

They have to go and play SPL teams, and then you will really see what

:03:33.:03:37.

they are capable of doing. Thank you Jimmy, thank you Chris. Our TV
