What happened. Rangers beat St Mirren 5-1 at Ibrox, giving Derek McInnes his first win as manager, and were then drawn against Celtic in the Premier Sports Cup quarter-finals.

• Tie at Ibrox on September 12/13, a week before league clash at Celtic Park.
• McInnes switched to 4-3-3 and saw improved attacking threat.
• First win came after four winless matches, including Europa League exit.

“I am delighted to be at home, obviously it’s a mouth-watering tie.”

— Derek McInnes

Rangers will face Celtic twice in a row, with McInnes hoping for a settled squad.
