Wantaway Rangers midfielder DaMarcus Beasley was on the scoresheet as the Scottish champions brushed aside Dundee United 3-0 on Tuesday night.

The 27-year old USA international, who has said he is keen for a January exit from Ibrox, opened the scoring for Rangers at Tannadice Park in the 26th minute with a dipping 20-yard strike that gave Dundee keeper Nicky Weaver no chance.

Kenny Miller then added a double for the visitors as they cruised to a victory and back to the top of the Scottish Premier League table - a point clear of Celtic.

It was Beasley's first goal for the club since the Scottish Cup final win over Queen of the South in May 2008.
