Aarons late show gets Rangers off the mark
Max Aarons' 94-minute winner helped Rangers finally achieve the first victory of their Scottish Premiership campaign after battling past Livingston 2-1.
Rangers were perilously close to the longest winless streak in their history before Aarons found the bottom-left corner in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time.
James Tavernier came up with the goods in the 23rd minute when Oliver Antman picked out the right-back, who opened the scoring with an acrobatic finish from close range.
Five minutes after the Rangers captain struck the first blow, Russell Martin's side was awarded a penalty after Nicolas Raskin was brought down by Stevie May in the box.
However, Tavernier was unable to convert the resulting spot-kick as Jerome Prior produced a brilliant stop with his feet to keep the deficit at just one goal heading into the break.
Rangers were left to rue their missed chances in the second half, when Mohamad Sylla's head met a pinpoint Adam Montgomery cross to restore parity in the 68th minute.
When it looked like the spoils would be shared, Aarons popped up with the winner after finishing from Raskin's corner to spark wild scenes among the travelling supporters.
