Leanne Crichton’s tenure began in emphatic fashion as Rangers put six goals past Montrose in the first game of the new SWPL season.
Montrose struck first at Links Park when Olivia Chomczuk floated the ball into the net from the edge of the box.
Just three minutes later, however, the home side were reduced to 10 players as Cassie Cowper was shown a straight red card.
Katie Wilkinson scored directly from a Rangers free-kick to level the scoring before she put the visitors in front from the penalty spot.
The visitors ran amok in the second half with goals from Mia McAulay, Brogan Hay and Kathy Hill as well as a third for Wilkinson.
