FT: Rangers 8-0 Queen's Park That's all from us for now. We'll be back later tonight with coverage of Stenhousemuir v Falkirk and the quarter-final draw - watch both live on the BBC. Cheers for joining. FT: Rangers 8-0 Queen's Park Rangers head coach Danny Rohl tells BBC Scotland: "I'm very happy and pleased for my group. You never know what will happen in a cup game, you have to take it very seriously. Today, we did our job. "It was very professional. We scored early, this is always helpful in such a game. It was about being hungry for more. Second half, they went very deep but we did well. "We spoke about the final third, how to break them down, the runs we need. It showed that our squad is ready. A lot of players are ready. "When I took over, it was about finding a group to find wins and get balance. Now, win by win, we feel the confidence. Everyone is now focused on the next game because we have a big week ahead. "We need a lot of intensity [on Wednesday]. Motherwell keep the ball well. We have to press. At Ibrox, we won 1-0 but had other good opportunities. We want to show what we can do. " Rohl is hopeful centre-back Emmanuel Fernandez and striker Youssef Chermiti will be back for the trip to Fir Park. FT: Rangers 8-0 Queen's Park Danny Rohl wasn't scared to get the brown brogues dirty today. We'll have post-match reaction from the Rangers boss in a minute or two. .. FT: Rangers 8-0 Queen's Park Rangers have a huge league game at Motherwell on Wednesday (19: 45 GMT). There's serious potential for that game to be a cracker at Fir Park. Queen's Park's next match is also a biggie, going to fellow Championship strugglers Ross County on Saturday (15: 00). FT: Rangers 8-0 Queen's Park Queen's Park manager Sean Crighton tells BBC Scotland: "I don't think we turned up on the day. It's not something I've had to say often about this group this year. "We got the basics wrong all over the pitch, set-plays, the goals we concede - especially in the first half. We had to change something for damage limitation. "We'd done done our homework, we know no matter who delivers the ball in, it will be of really good quality. We needed to mark up better. It was a really disappointing day. We were miles off it. "I do think we could have turned up more. The concentration needs to be a lot better and we need to maintain that. This will hurt for a couple of days, but we need to use that hurt. " FT: Rangers 8-0 Queen's Park Steven Thompson Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound I felt Rangers would win comfortably. Beforehand, we were trying to make a case for Queen's Park after last year but the circumstances were very different. In all honesty, the game was won as soon as the second goal went in. There was no way back for Queen's Park. Defensively, they have to do so much better. They made a difficult afternoon more difficult for themselves. FT: Rangers 8-0 Queen's Park Callum Davidson Former Queen's Park manager on BBC Sportsound It just shows where Rangers are at the moment - a good place. Danny Rohl is confident, he has a good squad, his January additions look like real good signings. It gives everybody a lift, and they looked like they had fun doing it. FT: Rangers 8-0 Queen's Park There's a nice moment between James Tavernier and Ryan Naderi at the end of that interview. Naderi is presented with the player of the match award, but the young striker insists on giving it to Tavernier for scoring his first career hat-trick. Tavernier refuses. He's happy enough with the match baw. FT: Rangers 8-0 Queen's Park Rangers captain James Tavernier tells Premier Sports: "We've got to take it game by game, keep consistency going, keep clean sheets. "We have to be at it [at Motherwell] and keep pushing each other. Everyone's pushing themselves to get into the starting XI. " On Ryan Naderi, Tavernier says: "Great first start for the big man, he's going to be a real asset going forward. " And the striker adds: "Amazing feeling, I had a lot of joy on the pitch and tried to appreciate every second with the boys. " FT: Rangers 8-0 Queen's Park Later tonight - live on the BBC - after Stenhousemuir host Falkirk (19: 30 GMT). We'll bring you live text coverage of that one too. FT: Rangers 8-0 Queen's Park Callum Davidson Former Queen's Park manager on BBC Sportsound I know Tavernier was man of the match, but Chukwuani has been my standout. I've been really impressed with his all-round game. Getting forward and getting his goal shows he's got something else in his locker. FT: Rangers 8-0 Queen's Park James Tavernier, carrying the match ball, leads the Rangers players on a lap of Ibrox. His first career hat-trick. What a player that guy has been for the Govan club. FT: Rangers 8-0 Queen's Park Steven Thompson Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound The eighth goal is the best of the day by a distance. Chukwuani has been outstanding the whole game, even though he's barely got out of first gear. He's been so composed. A great goal from a great player. Rangers 8-0 Queen's Park Just the eight goals, including a treble for James Tavernier, as Rangers smash Queen's Park. Into the quarters Danny Rohl's men go. Tochi Chukwuani And it's eight. That might be the pick of the bunch, as a lovely passing move ends with Tochi Chukwuani slamming in his first Rangers goal. Rangers 7-0 Queen's Park Seb Drodz, the Queen's Park hero here almost a year ago, is subbed off with the score at 7-0 to Rangers. Quite the contrast for the forward. Still, nobody will ever take that day away from you, Seb. Rangers 7-0 Queen's Park Another Rangers corner causes panic in the visitors' box, but Calum Ferrie punches away unconvincingly. Rangers 7-0 Queen's Park Liam Mc Leish goes into the book after some afters with Nedim Bajrami. Game's over, lads. Let it go. Rangers 7-0 Queen's Park Callum Davidson Former Queen's Park manager on BBC Sportsound It's a great ball in from Meghoma but again, Queen's Park can't defend the cross ball in. If you can't do the basics in football you're never going to win and unfortunately, Queen's Park haven't dealt with any cross balls. That's been the difference second half, Rangers haven't put in as many balls. Bojan Miovski Seven. Another goal that's worked from a corner. It's played short and Jayden Meghoma eventually shapes in a ball that's glanced in off the head of Bojan Miovski. James Tavernier completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot At a glance Naderi scores with two headers on his first Rangers start Tavernier completes hat-trick from penalty spot after close-range finish and corner helped in by keeper Shiels own goal comes from Chukwuani flick-on at corner, Miovski makes it seven with header, Chukwuani finishes slick move to complete scoring James Tavernier hit a first-half hat-trick as Rangers breezed into the Scottish Cup quarter-finals, avenging last year's shock defeat by Queen's Park. Almost exactly 12 months ago, Calum Ferrie was the hero for the Championship side, making save after save and stopping a late penalty from Tavernier in one of the biggest upsets in the history of the tournament. This time, the goalkeeper was sent the wrong way from the spot by the Ibrox captain after punching a corner from the full-back into his own net, while Tavernier's first goal was forced home from close range. Ryan Naderi opened his Rangers account on his first start and Matty Shiels knocked in an own goal before the interval, both coming from corners. Naderi helped himself to a second header early in the second half and Bojan Miovski steered in the seventh on 80 minutes. Tochi Chukwuani, who flicked on Tavernier's delivery for the Shiels own goal, completed the rout, applying the finish to a neat passing sequence. Queen's Park made it through by default after Stranraer were expelled for not following the correct procedure for registering an on-loan goalkeeper in the previous round. While the reprieve will provide a healthy boost for the club's coffers, there was little danger of lightning striking twice in such an error-strewn display that will compound the misery of a team sitting bottom of the second tier. The visitors did have the ball in the net at 1-0 but Aidan Connolly was offside by quite a distance, a fleeting moment of joy swiftly doused. Ryan Naderi scored eight minutes into his first start for Rangers Tavernier's first career hat-trick helped deliver a ninth successive home win for Rangers. It takes the skipper's tally of goals to 143 to go along with his 147 assists, those contributions coming in over a decade at the club. Such a comfortable afternoon made for a stark contrast to the roiling angst in the stands a year ago when Seb Drozd struck the winner for Queen's Park, with Ibrox a much happier place these days. At 22, Naderi is 12 years younger than his new captain and fans will be encouraged by the physically imposing striker's display. The German was left completely free to nod in the opener from a corner, the ball taking a slight deflection on its way past Ferrie. He enjoyed lots of room again to double his tally as he met an Oliver Antman cross. And there could have been an argument about who gets to keep the match-ball had Naderi not knocked a volleyed effort over the top in the first half. Slipshod defending contributed to the big score, with Danny Rohl's side feasting on the visitors weakness at set-pieces. Ferrie was under little pressure as he misjudged Tavernier's curling corner and was badly positioned for Naderi's second, while the penalty was awarded when an Andreas Skov Olsen shot was stopped by an outstretched hand. After hammering 10-man Kilmarnock, 13 goals from two outings will lift the positive mood at Rangers further, although much tougher assignments await against in-form Motherwell and Premiership leaders Hearts. Rangers manager Danny Rohl: "You never know what will happen in a cup game, you have to take it very seriously. Today, we did our job. "It was very professional. We scored early, this is always helpful in such a game. It was about being hungry for more. "When I took over, it was about finding a group to find wins and get balance. Now, win by win, we feel the confidence. Everyone is now focused on the next game because we have a big week ahead. " Queen's Park manager Sean Crighton: "We didn't turn up on the day and that's not something I've said too often about this group. We were miles off it. "We got the basics wrong all over the pitch, set-plays. Obviously, it's very difficult being 5-0 down at half-time. "This is going to hurt but the players need to use that hurt. We need to move on and not feel sorry for ourselves. " After the opportunity to rate players has closed, the score displayed represents the average from all the submissions by BBC Sport users.
