Match Report

TTA report

“Niven the magnificent…stems the Ibrox goal rush“ (ET). A patchy game with neither team playing to potential. A McParland cross was knocked in by McBride (26) but Rangers scored when Niven couldn't hold a 30-yarder (40) then from close in (44). McBride played with his leg strapped up in a poor second half.
