Going forward, Rangers look like champions.
But I'd expect Claudio Braga and Lawrence Shankland [Hearts strikers] to test the two centre-backs big time. They'd get the better of them.

Rangers have been worthy of the lead in the second half, in everything they've done.
They've shown more energy, Raskin has put himself about.
Falkirk 3-5 Rangers
Falkirk midfielder Dylan Tait goes crashing into Djeidi Gassama and Nicolas Raskin isn't too happy with the challenge.
The Rangers midfielder and Tait both go into the referee's book after a bit of pushing and shoving on the touchline.
Getting heated in the Falkirk sunshine.

It'll be interesting to see what Rangers do here because Barron for Aasgaard isn't like for like and they had so much success in 4-4-2.
We might see Chermiti on the left and Gassama off the right.

Connor Barron is on for Thelo Aasgaard in midfield.
Looks like Danny Rohl is looking to tighten up and make sure there are no more Falkirk comebacks.

Again, it's Raskin. He had no right to win the second ball in the middle of the pitch.
He comes away with the ball and sets up the whole goal.
Youssef Chermiti
Image source, SNSWow, the goals keep coming!
Djeidi Gassama's drive is deflected into the path of team-mate Youssef Chermiti and the big striker smashes home his second goal of the game from 15 yards.
Rangers restore their two-goal lead.
What an amazing game...

Almost an equaliser!
Calvin Miller curls a drive and it looks like the wind takes it wide of the far post.

Max Aarons has just replaced Jayden Meghoma, who was on a yellow card, and the full-back is immediately booked for hauling back Keelan Adams as Falkirk go on the break.

What a game!
It's the power that beats Jack Butland. It's not right in the corner from Calvin Miller, but it's decent enough.
We have a real game on our hands now.

I don't know what James Tavernier is doing.
It's a lovely give-and-go from Lissah and it's sloppy from Tavernier. Doesn't move his feet quick enough and it's clumsy in the box.
Calvin Miller
Falkirk are back in the game again - just!
Calvin Miller's spot kick squeezes under the hand of Jack Butland.
The power beat the goalkeeper and it is game on again.
What a Jekyll and Hyde performance from Rangers. They look a different team in the second half.
Paul
I’ve said it for months, but just think Rangers will win league cause they can find that extra gear needed more consistently than Hearts and Celtic can.

Falkirk are handed a lifeline as James Tavernier concedes a spot kick.
Rangers' captain pulls back Filip Lissah just inside the penalty box.
Needless foul.

Emmanuel Fernandez rises to meet a corner, but the Rangers centre-half heads over this time.
No sign of a Falkirk comeback and it is the visitors who look the more likely to add to a breathtaking six goals so far.

I don't know what Danny Rohl said to this lot at half time, but what a change.
When you think of a proper Rangers midfielder, driving you up the pitch, wings the ball back, scores a goal, and now Raskin has an assist as well.
You've got to expect more goals now, but maybe not from Falkirk.

What a sensational turnaround.
It's all about the quality of the cross and an improvised finish from Miovski - I think it's off his thigh. That's what you want to see from your striker.
A lovely finish.

Ian McCall

Raskin has just taken this game by the scruff of the neck at half-time.
He's been magnificent, setting the tone not just with nice passes but winning the ball back.
It's poor defending from Falkirk, but a brilliant ball into the box.
