Rovers became the fourth side to lose five goals to Rangers this season as Mark Warburton set a club record by becoming the first Light Blues manager to win his first nine games in charge.

Toshney insisted the league leaders are simply too good for the rest of Championship. “They are streets ahead of everybody else,” the defender said.

“It’s the best I’ve seen them and they seem to be giving everyone five.

“They kept it for fun, pressed us and we just couldn’t get out. When we had possession we kept giving it away cheaply and we need to address that.

“We’ll not be down-hearted. We won’t come up against teams like that every week.

“We’ll keep our heads up and go again for Queen of the South next week.”

Raith conceded inside five minutes as a training ground set-piece saw Rangers work the ball to Lee Wallace in the box, and the full back steered a right-foot shot past Kevin Cuthbert.

Rangers dominated the rest of the half, with Toshney clearing off the line from Gedion Zelalem.

Raith defended stoutly until the stroke of half-time.

A one-two on the edge of the area saw unstoppable right-back James Tavernier burst into the box to fire low past Cuthbert for his sixth goal of the season.

Raith briefly threatened at the start of the second half and Rangers keeper Wes Foderingham tipped James Craigen’s 30-yard effort away from the top corner.

However, the visitors fell three behind in the 54th minute.

Nathan Oduwa was the instigator with a wonderful mazy run from halfway to touchline taking him past three challenges. His cut-back fell to Barrie McKay, who had a simple tap-in.

It was 4-0 in the 63rd minute as Martin Waghorn fell to the ground under the slightest touch from Toshney and referee Brian Colvin pointed to the spot. Waghorn took the kick and sent Cuthbert the wrong way.

Toshney conceded another penalty five minutes later and there was no doubting the ref’s decision this time as the centre-half hacked down Oduwa as he made another scintillating run.

Waghorn completed the scoring with an identical finish to his earlier penalty.

Raith boss Ray McKinnon was full of praise for Rangers’ performance but admitted his team could have made it harder for them.

“They are an exceptional team and are playing with extreme confidence so it was a very tough game for us,” he said.

“We won’t be judged against them, that’s for sure, we just take that on the chin and move on to the next game.

“We could’ve done better when he had possession, we’re a better team than that but it’s very difficult to stop Rangers on that form.”
