The first half was flat but Rangers picked up in the second period and won the game through a driving strike from Ianis Hagi after the Romanian drifted inside from the right flank.
Allan McGregor made two key stops against Craig Bryson in both halves and Rangers could have scored a couple more – but Ryan Kent slipped as he shot and Connor Goldson prodded wide close in.

7. Ryan Jack - 7
Took his time returning to the team, but is worth the wait. All action and contributed at both ends of the pitch. Photo: Rob Casey - SNS Group
8. Joe Aribo - 6
Frustration in the first half almost boiled over with a petulant push after a midfield foul - but his evening gradually improved in the second half when the midfielder was more like his creative self. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
