Joe Garner grabbed a second-half hat-trick as Rangers reached the William Hill Scottish Cup semi-finals with a 6-0 thumping of Hamilton at Ibrox, yesterday.

Rangers’ biggest win of the season came on the back of substitute Garner’s treble and efforts from Martyn Waghorn, Jon Toral and Clint Hill.

With the Light Blues board expected to announce a new boss in time for next Sunday’s Old Firm showdown with Celtic at Parkhead, caretaker boss Graeme Murty was in charge for what appeared to be the fifth and final time.

His record of three wins and two defeats may not be enough to make him a serious contender for the job on a full-time basis.

But the former Reading player deserves credit for stepping into the breach after Mark Warburton’s shock exit and providing a degree of calm leadership, with his leaving gift a place in today’s draw for the last four.
