Rangers moved into the Fifth Round of the Scottish Cup last night after they defeated First Division leaders St Johnstone in Perth.
An own goal by Stuart McCaffrey after a dreadful error from goalkeeper Alan Main just before the break was a major set-back for the hosts, before Nacho Novo added a crucial second ten minutes from time.
Rangers will now play away in the next round to Forfar Athletic, who thrashed non-league Forres Mechanics 6-1.
St Mirren also secured their place in the last-16 after coming through a difficult away fixture with Division Two promotion chasers Brechin City.
Former Dunfermline Athletic striker Jim Hamilton scored two and Dennis Wyness got on the score-sheet as the Buddies picked up a 3-1 win.
They are now likely to meet Motherwell in the next round, assuming they come through a clash against non-league Inverurie Locos.
Last night's Scottish Cup results:
Brechin City 1-3 St Mirren
Forfar 6-1 Forres Mechanics
St Johnstone 0-2 Rangers
