Rangers hosted Berwick in a Tuesday night Ramsdens Cup
tie at Ibrox. Ally McCoist fielded a strong side. The hosts started the game
with plenty of the ball and they pressed on the Berwick defence but the chance conversion
was largely uninspiring as many of the passes went astray. The home side played
many a through balls but their strikers failed to convert what seemed easy
chances. After 23 minutes Andy Little took a shot in the box that lacked power
that looked to just trickle over the line for it just to be cleared off the
line by Michael Dunlop. Berwick playing
many men behind the ball with one main striker found the game tough but still
managed to get a few chances as Emilson Cribari had a downward header hit the
underside of the crossbar. Neither side managed to get a goal before half time
so it ended 0-0.
Half Time Score: Rangers 0-0 Berwick
Rangers started brightly in the second half and Sebastian
Faure had a volley tipped over the crossbar by the Berwick keeper. Despite the
failure to convert that chance; Rangers brought on Barrie McKay to improve
their chances and he scored straight after coming on; McKay received the through ball and he
cleverly dinked the ball over the Berwick keeper. It was only a couple minutes
later when Rangers made it 2-0 through Little as he headed home Crawford’s
cross. Rangers began to boss the game as they controlled the game stopping
Berwick getting their chances away.
Full Time Score: Rangers 2-0 Berwick
Attendance: 16,097
