Top class’: Kilmarnock boss praises three Rangers stars, one did something ‘unbelievable’
Derek McInnes, the manager of Kilmarnock, was left to lament the crucial roles played by Jack Butland, James Tavernier, and Tom Lawrence as Rangers overcame a 2-1 deficit at Rugby Park on Wednesday.
Two triumphs. Two wildly distinct victories.
On a night when Celtic reached seventh heaven at home against Dundee, these three incredibly hard-earned points could yet prove to be a crucial moment in an exciting title race as far as Rangers are concerned. Philippe Clement’s team narrowly prevailed 2-1 away to a team that had defeated them on the opening day.
Not for the first time, either of his two most seasoned campaigners made two tremendous contributions at either end, leaving those in blue indebted.
.. Kilmarnock was leading 1-0 when Jack Butland denied Matty Kennedy, demonstrating just why he has been linked to an England call-up. making sure James Tavernier’s most recent accurate free-kick was an equalizer rather than a way to cut the deficit.
with the meantime, Tom Lawrence’s quick-thinking, goal around the hour mark made sure that, with the few seconds remaining in the second half, 1-0 turned 1-2.
Rangers overcome Kilmarnock by coming back.
“Butland’s save at 1-0 merely serves to highlight his superiority. In the context of the game, that is a pivotal time for the Rangers,” groans McInnes.
The former manager of Aberdeen lauded his team’s performance in Ayrshire and also praised the tenacity and fighting spirit of Clement’s visitors.
Having seeing it once more, Tavernier’s free kick and the height he reaches
In certain situations, Rangers’ counterpress can be effective (for the third goal). Lawrence receives the ball when it breaks, and it’s a tremendous strike. Three Rangers players are there, and it is obvious that they have contributed significantly to the match.
“Laurent, Butland, and Tavernier.”
Top-ranked Philippe Clement’s team
Even though Brendan Rodgers’ brilliant Hoops team did narrow the margin in goal differential, Rangers’ 59th-minute victory keeps them two points ahead of Old Firm rivals Celtic at the top of the Premiership standings.
