MARK WARBURTON hopes Rangers can find their shooting boots at Fir Park and avoid another late show against Motherwell on Saturday.

The Light Blues came from behind to book their place in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup as Kenny Miller hit a brace to snatch a 2-1 win at the weekend.

Mark McGhee’s side were on course for a shock win when Louis Moult headed them in front with just 15 minutes remaining but the visitors couldn’t hold on at Ibrox.

Clear chances were hard to come by for the Gers as they struggled at times on home soil and Warburton is expecting another tough encounter when they return to league action in Lanarkshire.

He said: “We lacked penetration but had lots of ball possession but we need that quality in the final third.

“For the first hour we weren’t decisive enough, we know that. We passed the ball well without really hurting them in anyway and they got the goal.

“We knew they would always get a chance and it was a very good header but it kicked us into life and as they tired we worked them well.

“We passed around them and they got tired, late goals aren’t a coincidence so we were bright and I am pleased with the substitutions in terms of the energy they added.

“I think we’ll face the same again this weekend, as you saw they are very solid, deep and compact. They put men behind the ball and defend the goal in a very well organised manner.”

Well boss McGhee was left stunned as Miller headed home Martyn Waghorn’s cross and then capitalised on a Stephen McManus error to clinch a dramatic win.

But Warburton felt Rangers more than merited the win as they progressed to the next round and set up a meeting with Morton.

He told rangers.co.uk: “I saw Mark McGhee’s comments after the game but from our point of view we were more than deserved winners – there is no doubt about that.

“But from a Rangers’ perspective we have to be more decisive, we have to test their keeper earlier and more frequently.

“It is two late goals, you are 1-0 up with 10 minutes to go and you have to hope very much that the worst you do is hang on for a replay.

“Those two late goals obviously hurt them but we were pushing very hard and you saw even after the second goal that we could have added more. Barrie was wreaking havoc down the left-hand side.

“It is an important win, a lot is made of the cup game after what happened last year but that is long gone and it is one game at a time for us now but it was a good start.”
