We said: Rangers 3-0 Greenock Morton

 Rangers are likely to field a second-string side with one eye on their match against PSV on Tuesday, but Beale's men should still possess more than enough to book their place in the quarter-finals. Morton have not made it past this round of the League Cup in six years, and we expect their wait for a last-eight berth to continue after a heavy defeat at Ibrox this weekend. Read more.
