Lindsay Herron reporting from Dens Park

WALTER SMITH praised his young guns as Rangers safely negotiated a tough tie at Dens Park to move into the last four of the Co-operative Insurance Cup.


Danny Wilson in action against Dundee at Dens ParkSmith handed debuts to Danny Wilson and Jordan McMillan and it was 18-year-old John Fleck who sealed a 3-1 win over Dundee.

The manager said: "I was very pleased with the young players - Jordan especially because the midfield area was busy and Dundee had more or less five players in there.

"Danny Wilson did well too. He was careful not to make any errors. He is normally more composed than that but he had a good debut and he is going to go on to be a good player.

"John Fleck too had a good game, especially when he moved into his more natural position which is just off the front.

"I think he is feeling more at home now and hopefully he can build on that."

Rangers took the lead through a Steven Whittaker header but were pegged by an excellent Leigh Griffiths free kick.

Ironically former Rangers youth player Gary MacKenzie headed into his own before Fleck sealed the win.
