Aberdeen 2 Rangers 3 as supersub Scott Arfield nets twice in added time - 3 things we learned

Scott Arfield completed a remarkable turnaround for Rangers as the supersub netted twice in added time to win another five-goal thriller.

The Light Blues' title hopes looked all but over heading into the seven additional minutes at Pittodrie but an incredible end to the match means they bring the gap back to six points ahead of Celtic 's clash with Livingston tomorrow night. Tonight's result will give the Ibrox men a huge boost as they return to action on Friday night in Dingwall against Ross County.

Fashion JR - one player who looked dangerous and got pass marks in this one - gave the visitors the lead with his second goal in two games in the new era but a free-kick from Duk and a Leighton Clarkson stunner handed the home side the advantage with Jim Goodwin's men looking like they were going to pick up a stunning win but step up Arfield as his two goals secures back to back wins for Michael Beale. What an end to the game. Here are three things we learned.

You are Gold

It was the night both the Rangers players and fans have been waiting on for a couple of months.

It was Connor Goldson's big return to action after a spell on the sidelines. The stopper is a vital player for the Light Blues and his presence has been missed after playing week in, week out without injury for years.

90+ minutes under his belt with a huge part to play in the weeks and months to come.

Fashion Show

What a start under Michael Beale for Fashion Sakala.

A goal at Ibrox last week against Hibs followed up with the opener in this one.

Bags of pace and always a threat on the attack with his direct approach.

This could be the start of an extended run in the team as the Zambian looks to nail himself down as a key starter in the new era.

Hooked on the hour but a big part to play with the games coming thick and fast.

Scott the lot

What an incredible end to this game and it was all thanks to Scott Arfield.

Rangers' title hopes looked over until the midfielder netted in the 94th and 97th minute to secure a huge win.

Another five-goal thriller for the Ibrox men.

The Light Blues star can do no more as he bids to force himself in from the start on Friday night at Ross County.

What an impact.
