Rangers boss Walter Smith saw his side crush Inverness 5-0 and captain Barry Ferguson made his comeback from injury early in the second half. Smith said: "It's good to see Barry back. The game was maybe a little bit flat at that stage but it was a good game for him to come back in.

"With four games in the next couple of weeks, we should see him back to full fitness at the end of that period.

"We are delighted to see him back. He has been out for five months and we just have to make sure everything is right with him.

"The team have been doing well and it's not always easy to make changes. He led from the front last season and it will take him a few games to get back so I look forward to that."
