SPL Fanzone: Rangers
Arbroath chased and harried admirably but the game was over in 22 minutes, with a tidy finish from David Healy and then an own goal forced by incisive one-touch attacking from Jelavic and the excellent Sone Aluko, whose attacking nature, trickery and pace is already making him a shrewd acquisition.
Rangers needed a confidence boost to arrest the slide in form and seven goals and none conceded in the last two games is uplifting. The formidable Goian/Bocanegra pairing is back, Aluko looks assured and the invariably excellent Lee Wallace offers width and pace.
A good transfer window would give cause for optimism that Rangers can realistically challenge for both league and Scottish Cup.
