    Time:90'
    • Rangers
    • Hamilton Academical
    • 90' Full time. An absolute cruise from Rangers, Hamilton desperately poor today, worrying times for the Accies.
    • 90' Two minutes of added time to be played.
    • 89' Steven Whittaker is announced man of the match, two great goals from the defender today.
    • 87' GOAL FOR HAMILTON!!! McLaughlin heads home an Accies corner, sloppy stuff from Rangers.
    • 84' Rangers are cantering to the three points now, pipe and slippers time.
    • 80' No goal for Miller, he comes off for Greg Wylde.
    • 79' Hamilton are really looking like relegation fodder already this season. 0 points, 0 goals and 10 conceeded (so far).
    • 77' Rangers are still looking dangerous, Miller has been everywhere today, he deserves a goal.
    • 76' Wilkie comes on for Hamilton, replacing Gary Mason.
    • 72' The game is fizzling out a tad now, it has been over for a long time.
    • 70' Novo returns for Rangers, coming on for Naismith.
    • 67' GOAL FOR RANGERS!! A magnificent strike from Whittaker, he plays a one-two with Davis and curls a twenty-five yarder into the top corner. The Gers are rampant!!
    • 65' GOAL FOR RANGERS!!! Game over, was there any doubt? Davis finds Naismith in the box with a great pass, the winger squares to Boyd who taps home.
    • 64' Naismith heads a Mendes cross over the bar, it was a very difficult chance for the wide man.
    • 62' McGregor has to be on the ball to palm a McArthur cross-shot away. Hamilton are having a small spell of possession here.
    • 58' Paixao is replaced by Knight for Hamilton.
    • 56' Rangers enjoying all the possesion here, you get the feeling if they put their foot down they could get a sack-load of goals.
    • 53' Hamilton get in on the act, Lyle takes a cheeky free-kick, everyone is expecting a cross but the winger fires for goal, McGregor has to be alive to push it away.
    • 51' Another chance for Rangers, Whittaker's cross finds Miller, whose header is saved by Cerny.
    • 49' Bougherra scoops a shot over the bar at the back post, what a chance for the big man, should be three.
    • 46' Louhoungou replaces Welsh for The Accies, no changes from Rangers. We're are underway in the second half.
    • 45' Half-time at Ibrox as the Champions League theme rings out around the ground (rather bizarrely). It's been too easy for Walter Smith's men.
    • 43' Rangers are happy to let Hamilton have some of the ball at the moment, hitting the away side on the break.
    • 41' So close from Miller!!! He sprints through the middle and fires a shot just over the bar.
    • 40' Great cross from Lyle is headed just over from Weir, almost an own-goal!
    • 38' Mendes is the class act out on the pitch, pulling all the strings in the Rangers midfield.
    • 36' Miller breaks free from the Hamilton defence, but his choice of pass is all wrong, a real chance for a third goal there.
    • 32' Penalty shouts waved away by the ref after Miller is brought down in the Hamilton box.
    • 31' This is really comfortable stuff for Rangers, Hamilton are praying for the full-time whistle already.
    • 29' It's along way back for Hamilton now, it's already a question of how many for Rangers.
    • 27' GOAL FOR RANGERS!!! Boyd rises to Papac's deflected cross and heads home past a helpless Cerny, a goal out of nothing for The Gers.
    • 23' Good work from Lyle, the winger moves inside and fires a shot over the bar, a bit more attacking purpose from the away side.
    • 19' GOAL for Rangers!! What a strike from Whittaker, a superb ball in behind the full-back by Davis finds the Ranger's defender who fires a fine shot past Cerny.
    • 17' Hamilton will be happy with this so far, Rangers have dominated and should be leading, but Reid's men are holding The Gers at bay.
    • 14' A rare attack from The Accies and they win a corner, but it comes to nothing.
    • 12' Papac fires a thunderbolt from outside the area, but it flies over the bar into row Z.
    • 11' Rangers are in complete control here, Hamilton get can't get out of their half.
    • 8' Another shot from Davis is stopped by Cerny, the midfielder should already have two goals!
    • 7' Great chance for Davis! Mendes plays a sublime ball to the Northern Ireland man, his shot is stopped by Cerny, his follow-up hits the side netting.
    • 5' Lots of probing from Rangers, they are trying to find that killer pass.
    • 3' Hamilton are already sitting back and inviting Rangers to attack, this could be a long afternoon for The Accies.
    • 1' And we are underway at Ibrox.
    • ' The Accies face a really tough test this afternoon, not many people are giving them a chance against Walter Smith's side.
    • ' Rangers will be looking to regain top spot in the SPL while it doesn't look good for Hamilton, they sit bottom of the table with no points and six goals conceded in two games.
