Aaron Ramsey says he is enjoying playing football again after making his first Rangers start.

The midfielder featured in the Light Blues' 3-0 Scottish Cup victory away to Annan Athletic.

Ramsey's corner set up the returning Filip Helander to head in for their opener just six minutes into the match.

Kemar Roofe and Fashion Sakala also scored first-half goals to set Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side on their way.

The Juventus loanee was replaced on the hour mark and says it was a big step in helping him get back up to speed.

He told Premier Sports: "Coming to a massive club like this there's also pressure to win.

"I like that - hopefully we can have a successful season together.

"It's my first start in a long time so I was obviously a little bit rusty.

"But I'm glad I got the minutes in the legs again - the 60 minutes - and I'm feeling good.

"I'm just happy to be here and enjoying my football again."

"It felt good to be back out there.

"Obviously the conditions were tough in the first-half but I thought we did a good job today.

"I think the quality is very high in this team.

"You saw tonight we changed a lot of players but there were some very good performances.

"So the strength in depth is definitely there - and hopefully I can contribute to helping the team reach our targets this season."
