Todd Cantwell lit up a game that had an end of season feel to it as he netted a screamer to ensure Rangers got revenge on Aberdeen with victory at Ibrox.
The former Norwich City man volleyed a brilliant second half goal to earn all three points but there was little else to celebrate for the crowd on the day their rivals Celtic were officially crowned Scottish Premiership champions. It was the first goal the dogged Dons had conceded after a run over five clean sheets and that sequence ended in some style.
The empty seats told its own story of a season that can’t end quickly enough and Beale mixed it up as he gave some fringe men a chance, including keeper Robby McCrorie. They should have been desperate to impress but it was a slow start with Cantwell agin looking the brightest and he twice went close inside the first 20 minutes. Aberdeen were content to get bodies behind the ball and hit on the break and that plan almost paid off midway through the first half. Bojan Miovski raced away and he slipped the ball to Duk but McCrorie made a brilliant stop to deny the Dons striker.
