Graeme Murty has claimed that Rangers are yet to reach their full potential following Sunday's 6-1 win at Ayr United in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup.

An early Alan Forrest goal gave the Scottish League One side the lead, but Alfredo Morelos and Josh Windass both grabbed doubles as the visitors went on to clinch an easy victory.

January signings Jamie Murphy and Jason Cummings also got on the scoresheet as Rangers reached the quarter-finals of the competition for the fifth consecutive year.

"I would say parts of it were as well as we've played," Murty told BBC Sport. "Some of our play is exhilarating as a coach. The tempo we move the ball at, the quality we have in the side.

"I was going to give Jamie Murphy a load of stick because the only thing missing from his game was a goal. He was outstanding. He gives us understanding, quality and incredible workrate even though he's not fully fit yet. There's more to come from him and the squad.

"With this club, and with any competition, it's about winning the next game. We came here in difficult conditions against a team who are full of confidence and I have to say I thought they performed extremely well. We handled the conditions, we handled the crowd, we handled the win."

Rangers return to action next Sunday with a Scottish Premiership game away at Hamilton Academical.
