Rangers' boss Mark Warburton wants day in the sun at Hampden

Rangers boss Mark Warburton has called for the Petrofac Training Cup final to be staged at Hampden after watching his side ease past St Mirren 4-0 in their semi-final.

Warbuton's side will take on Peterhead in the final on April 10, and a venue has yet to be announced.

The last time the Ibrox men reached the final of the lower-league cup competition in 2013, the match took place at the 20,000 capacity Easter Road, but Warburton reckons his club could fill the national stadium and its 52,000 seats.

Asked if he felt the match should be staged in the south side of Glasgow, the Englishman said: "I hope so. That's what I've been told and I hope that's the case.

Rangers sweep into final

Rangers booked a Petrofac Training Cup final ticket after a 4-0 rout of St Mirren.

"Rangers will send a very strong support [to Hampden] and we would look forward to that type of challenge."

Warburton's team booked their place in the final with goals from Jason Holt, Kenny Miller, Martyn Waghorn and Sean Kelly's stoppage-time own goal but Warburton admitted his side had not been at their best.

He said: "I thought in the first half we were good, really good, but I think we should have come in more than 1-0 at half-time. It should have been more.

"We created a lot of chances, moved the ball and dominated possession but didn't get all our rewards. The second half we weren't quite as good and had a 15-minute spell where we were sloppy and gave the ball away."

Saints have won just one of their last 10 league games and boss Ian Murray said: "Rangers dominated the first 45 and we were delighted with the scoreline at half-time. It could have been a lot more.

"We did much better in the second half but our quality on the ball in the first half was as bad as it's been all season. Some of our good players couldn't trap a ball or pass it literally five yards."
