Rangers took out their Hampden frustrations as Michael Beale’s side responded to their Viaplay Cup final loss by cuffing Kilmarnock.
Goals from Connor Goldson and Fashion Sakala before a James Tavernier penalty on the stroke of half-time was rich reward after a dominant first half showing. But Gers failed to maintain those standards and allowed Killie to pull one back with Jeriel Dorsett’s first goal for the club. After a tough week, an early goal was just what Rangers needed to settle any anxiety after the disappointment suffered in the loss to Celtic at the national stadium.
And they were glad to get one just six minutes in as a move straight off the training grounds bore fruit. Borna Barisic’s short corner to Antonio Colak was teed up for Cantwell to shoot. Alan Power got his body in the way as the former Norwich playmaker had a couple of goes at it.
