Match Report

TTA report

In driving rain, Rangers just edged a goalless first half then a penalty (46) gave them the lead. A 2nd goal followed. In the last 15 minutes the game was played with “refreshing vigour and earnestness that sustained interest to the end“ (GH). Ballantyne pulled one back towards the end but it wasn't enough.
