Giovanni van Bronckhorst takes his side to Dumfriesshire to take on the League Two side who are looking to pull off a huge shock.
Slapstick stuff on the edge of the Rangers box as Moxon takes a swing at the ball while he's on the ground. Moxon delivers a tasty cross but McLaughlin does very well to come and punch as the wind tries to help the inswinger towards the goal. There's a free-kick for Rangers right on the edge of the area as Roofe is brought down... It's not a bad effort and in fact the number four wants a corner but McLaughlin isn't troubled. Steven Swinglehurst played in the games back when these sides played in League Two and he's on for the final 15 minutes. But he can't provide the finish as a half-volley flies high and wide. The game drifts to a quiet conclusion and Rangers are into the next round. Fair play to Annan who have played better in this second period as McCann is forced to haul down Smith and is booked for the trouble. It was just going to come down to the attitude of the Scottish champions and it didnโt take long to discover they were going to be professional. The heavens opened and on a plastic pitch against League Two opposition, it was the kind of stage that made for a Cup shock. Filip Helander netted on his first team return before Kemar Roofe added a second for his 11th of the season and Fashion Sakala sent them the Light Blues in 3-0 up at the break. A wet and wild Scottish Cup fifth round encounter promised to be special as the Scottish champions descended on the League Two side.

If it werenโt for a smart save from Annan keeper Greg Fleming, then he would have followed in the footsteps of Lowry and notched a debut goal. although he has made the bench for the first team recently without making an appearance, suggesting that a debut was nearing. Alex Lowry had his turn against Stirling Albion in the last round, now it was the turn of fellow starlet, Charlie McCann, to feature for the side.

In the 67th minute, with the jeopardy having left the match, Diallo skimmed the bar with a 20-yard drive before he left the field with Sakala, replaced by Cedric Itten and 19-year-old former Manchester United academy midfielder Charlie McCann, who was making his debut. Amid the swirling wind and rain, the visitors took a nerve-calming early lead when Helander powered in a header from a Borna Barisic corner, after his header from a first corner had been cleared off the line by Dominic Docherty. Notably on-loan Juventus midfielder Aaron Ramsey made his first start, Helander featured for the first time in five months after recovering from a knee injury and there was a debut for Mateusz Zukowski, the new signing from Lechia Gdansk.
