ALLY McCoist and Duncan Ferguson formed a striking partnership for the
first time last night and shared five goals as Rangers Reserves defeated
their Morton counterparts 8-0 in Linlithgow.
Ferguson took top billing with four second-half goals, the best coming
from a great glancing header, but the #4m player also caught the eye
with some delightful touches in poor conditions.
Having returned as a substitute on Saturday at Ibrox, McCoist netted
Rangers' fourth goal and linked well with Ferguson before departing
after 75 minutes, clearly satisfied with his night's work.
Also on the comeback trail were Andy Goram and Dave McPherson. Goram,
in his first outing since the Scottish Cup final last May, was a virtual
spectator yet remained alert enough to make a full-length save from
Barry McClelland late in the game.
On an evening dominated by the appearance of four Scottish caps and
also Oleg Kuznetsov, Rangers other scorers were Craig Moore, Kevin
Fotheringham, and Steven Pressley.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
