John Lundstram heads home Rangers’ opener against Dumbarton.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Rangers overcame dogged League 2 side Dumbarton and stormy conditions to secure their place in the last 16 of the Scottish Cup.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Goals from John Lundstram and Cyriel Dessers in the first half booked safe passage into the next round.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Matthew Shiels scored a consolation header for Dumbarton, bookended by a second-half James Tavernier penalty and a Scott Wright breakaway goal to guarantee victory, <\/span><\/p>\n

Rangers gave Scotland squad goalkeeper Robby McCrorie a rare start as they fielded an otherwise strong line-up for the evening kick-off.<\/span><\/p>\n

In lashing rain under the shadow of Dumbarton Rock, Rangers’ front line laboured early on, with Dessers being thwarted by Dumbarton goalkeeper Harry Broun and his own bad luck.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Dumbarton looked to capitalise on the grim weather conditions, Michael Ruth’s point-blank shot from a wicked right-wing cross required a stunning save from McCrorie’s face to stop the home side taking a shock lead.<\/span><\/p>\n

A few minutes later the greasy conditions in the Rangers penalty box had McCrorie scrabbling to get hold of the ball with Ruth and Finlay Gray lurking.<\/span><\/p>\n

But within moments, Rangers were ahead – Lundstram heading home at the back post from a Souttar flicked-on corner.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dessers made it two five minutes before half time, getting on the end of a weighted cross into the box from Tavernier and slipping the ball into the net.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the conditions – and the pitch – continued to deteriorate through the second half, chances became fewer. Dumbarton’s back line dug in, defending deeper into their own half and blocking Rangers’ route to goal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kalvin Orsi offered Dumbarton some creativity down the right flank, while Ryan Blair flashed just wide from a corner.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dessers made way for new Rangers loan signing Fabio Silva, but the \u00a335m man struggled to make an impact before Rabbi Matondo was felled in the Dumbarton box to land a penalty, duly dispatched by Tavernier.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shiels rose above the Rangers defence to head home Ryan Wallace’s deftly delivered free-kick to give the hosts a brief moment of hope. <\/span><\/p>\n

But it was snuffed out seconds later after a Rangers breakaway put substitute Scott Wright clean through to slot home beneath Broun.<\/span><\/p>\n

What they said<\/h3>\n

Dumbarton manager Stephen Farrell: <\/strong>“I’ve got to be pleased. I thought we gave a good account of ourselves. <\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m disappointed at the goals we lost – but I thought in the game we always looked a threat going up the top end of the pitch.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Rangers head coach Philippe Clement:<\/strong> “It’s a really important win, we were never in trouble. These are always tricky games on a pitch like this. <\/span><\/p>\n

“We did the job in a good way. It’s now about a good recovery towards Wednesday.”<\/span><\/p>\n
