Rangers win their first game as 'newco' but are forced to extra time by second division Brechin City.

Rangers needed extra time to win their first match under owner Charles Green against Brechin City in the Scottish League Ramsdens Cup.

A crowd of 4,000 at Glebe Park saw Rangers get off to a flying start with a goal from Andy Little after just three minutes.

The Gers could not keep their lead until half time however, with Brechin firing back with a neat finish from Andy Jackson.

A frustrating second half saw Rangers struggle to break down a spirited City defence, sending the match into extra time.

Talismanic midfielder Lee McCulloch made the crucial breakthrough deep into the additional 30 minutes, earning a win in the opening game of the season for Ally McCoist's men.
