Danny Rohl has targeted a league and cup double after Bojan Miovski’s hat-trick helped a much-changed Rangers side to a 5-0 Scottish Cup win over Annan Athletic at Ibrox.
The North Macedonia striker slotted the hosts into a commanding 2-0 lead before Kieran Dowell added a third early in the second half.
Miovski grabbed his own third with a penalty before substitute Thelo Aasgaard scored a terrific free-kick to top off the win.
Since replacing Russell Martin, Rohl has hauled Rangers into third place in the league, behind Celtic on goal difference and six points adrift of leaders Hearts.
“I think in general we can play for two titles at the moment, I think that’s what we want,” he said.

“In the cup you need less wins to be in the final, I think it’s a great opportunity, we want to push.
“I think we are hungry in the changing room at the moment. I think there was a big statement in Aberdeen [2-0 win] when I felt the dressing room after the win was really fantastic.
Rohl hinted Rangers may not be done with their January transfer business after new signings Tochi Chukwuani, Andreas Skov Olsen and Tuur Rommens were introduced to supporters at Ibrox.
All three greeted fans before Friday’s 5-0 Scottish Cup win over Annan Athletic and midfielder Chukwuani made an appearance off the bench.
“I am very happy to have all the three signings now here early,” Rohl told BBC Scotland.
“We have still some days to go.
“Andreas Skov Olsen is an experienced one. He gives us a different profile on the right side with the left foot.
“We have a clear idea about what we want to do. You never know in this market, it’s about timing. Let’s see what we can do more.”
What will Skov Olsen bring?
New Rangers winger Skov Olsen says fans can expect him to “go for it” and hopes to end the season lifting trophies.
The Denmark international has signed on loan from Wolfsburg until the end of the campaign, with Rangers holding the option to make the move permanent in the summer.
Skov Olsen, 26, has made only 10 appearances for the Bundesliga side since his summer move from Club Brugge.
He excelled in Belgium, scoring 49 goals and providing 30 assists in 124 games and Skov Olsen told BBC Sport Scotland he hopes to show fans he can recapture that form at Ibrox.
“Hopefully I can bring extra strength to the front, to both score and create for the team,” he said.
“I think they can expect I will try to break through, [going] inside and outside. Shoot and set up my mates. Just go, even [if I] lose the ball – go again.
“That’s what they can expect – I will try and go for it.
“It’s a very interesting time. But we have to take one game at a time and win the next one in front of us. Hopefully at the end of the season we’ll lift trophies.”
Skov Olsen played at Nordsjaelland in Denmark and with Bologna in Serie A before his move to Club Brugge.
He added he spoke to various people about the club, including some current Rangers players who he played with in his homeland.
“I know some of the guys from Nordsjaelland back in the day. [Oliver] Antman, the new signing Tochi [Chukwuani], and Dio [Mohamed Diomande].
“I know the guys a bit so it was very lovely to see them after some years.
“I spoke through a friend with Antman who came in the summer, obviously Tochi has just arrived, other than that I spoke to some other people about the club who only had good things to say.”
