It was Rangers’ third win at Ibrox in a week following a 2-0 win over Kilmarnock last Saturday and the victory over USG on Tuesday night.

Attacker Malik Tillman gave the Light Blues the lead in the 32nd minute with a close-range header from a James Tavernier cross.

Lundstram believes each game is bringing improvement to a strong squad.

He said:  “I was really happy. Performance-wise it was better than last week against Killie.

“You can see it starting to
