Arsenal youngster Zelalem shines as Tottenham pair Oduwa, Ball start for five-star Rangers

Rangers continued their brilliant start to the season under Mark Warburton with a 5-0 Scottish League Cup win over Airdrie on Wednesday night.

The Scottish Championship club made it seven wins from seven matches with a five-star cruise at the Excelsior Stadium which saw Nicky Clark, Andy Halliday and Martyn Waghorn on the scoresheet in the first half before Dean Shiels and James Tavernier added late goals.

One notable starter in the match was Arsenal young gun Gedion Zelalem who joined 'Gers on Monday on a loan which runs until January.

The 18-year-old German-born USA youth international shone in an attacking midfield role, having a hand in Halliday's 14th-minute strike, before playing a luscious through ball for Waghorn to make it 2-0.

Zelalem later then set up Tavernier in the 88th minute as Warburton's side rounded out the triumph in emphatic fashion.

Alongside the Gunners starlet were Tottenham pair Dominic Ball and Nathan Oduwa who were also involved from kick-off.

Ball, in his full debut, started at centre-back and played a full 90 minutes while Oduwa also went the distance with a pleasing performance in an attacking three.

Both Ball and Oduwa were clearly delighted with the devastating win:
