First Team
Match Report | Rangers 1-1 Dundee United
23rd November 2024
A late goal denied the Tangerine teenagers a deserved victory on Saturday morning.
Throughout almost the entire ninety minutes the visitors were in the ascendancy at a wind swept McKenna Park, home of Junior Club St Anthony's.
And there is no doubt that Saints opener after thirteen minutes was wholly attributable to the conditions, Scott Grier's punt up the park from 70-yards incredibly finding the net!
That lead only lasted four minutes, however. A good move up the right saw Fraser Milligan crossing and Johnny Russell headed home at the back post.
Despite wave after wave of attacks by the visitors, their interval advantage was restricted to a wind-assisted Ryan McCord free-kick from 30-yards,
The pattern of play changed little after the teams turned round and amongst others defender Gordon Pope passed up three great chances.
So that made it all the more frustrating that Rhyss Devlin grabbed the leveller from close in with just two minutes left.
Dundee United: Gibson, Milligan, Fleming, McGrath, Pope, Ryan McCord, Allan (Brophy 80), Anderson, Russell, Ross McCord (Paterson 75), Dow (Boyle 88). Subs not used: Burns, Travers, Mathieson, Colgan.
