Cole McKinnon ensured that the Glasgow giants went in level at the break.
Weston would go on to put the Ibrox side back into the lead after the interval, before securing his hat-trick to wrap up the first-leg tie.
His performances are sure to be impressing those at Ibrox.
He is currently the joint-top leading scorer in the Lowland League so far this campaign.
Weston joined Rangers from Blackpool in 2020.
He will be aiming to repeat his performance in the second leg which will be held on Tuesday, December 7.
