Andy Halliday has fired Rangers into a 1-0 half-time lead away to Queen of the South in this afternoon's top-of-the-table clash at Palmerston Park.
With both sides boasting a 100% record after three games, something had to give but the pair cancelled each other out during an evenly-contested first 20 minutes.
The first chance fell to Rangers as defender Lee Wallace latched on to Barrie McKay's through ball before skewing just wide of Robbie Thomson's goal.
Mark Warburton's side grew in control of the clash from there and found the breakthrough on 27 minutes when Halliday deftly finished McKay's pass.
The hosts struggled to fashion clear-cut chances, with Alex Harris's outside-of-the-box effort testing Wes Foderingham but it was not enough to earn parity before the break.
