Talking Points:
Philippe Clement used to insist he was no magician during his stint as Rangers boss. But Danny Rohl can claim to be an exorcist. This encounter with Queen’s Park came one day shy of a year since Callum Davidson’s Spiders stunned Clement’s Light Blues by dumping them from the Scottish Cup.
Controversy & Comment Hooks:
The match was a showcase of Rangers' dominance, with a final score of 8-0. While Queen's Park's performance was underwhelming, Rangers' clinical edge in front of goal was a sight to behold. James Tavernier, who made up for his penalty miss last year with a hat-trick and two assists, was a standout performer. However, some may argue that Queen's Park's poor performance was a result of their current struggles in the Scottish Championship. Others may point out that Rangers' dominance was a reflection of their current form and depth of talent. The match also raises questions about the impact of set-pieces on the outcome, with Rangers scoring multiple goals from corners and free kicks. Overall, the match was a clear demonstration of Rangers' current form and a reminder of the challenges facing Queen's Park in their current position in the Scottish Championship.
