Whittaker double sees off Hamilton

19 January 2010 22:32

Steven Whittaker struck twice in extra-time as Rangers booked their place in the fifth round of the Active Nation Scottish Cup with a 2-0 victory over Hamilton.

This was the third meeting in 10 days between the two clubs, with Accies earning a 3-3 draw at the first time of asking and then losing narrowly to Walter Smith's men in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League at the weekend.

Hamilton once again frustrated the holders and forced the replay to extra-time but two goals in four minutes from Whittaker ensured Rangers progressed to a meeting with St Mirren in the next round.
