A frustrating night for Rangers as we twice give away the lead to draw with Oxford United on Friday evening. Jim Magilton picked a strong side with Cerny in goal and a back four of Ramage, Connolly Hall and Gorkks whilst Martin Rowlands again started in midfield alongside Mahon, Balanta and Routledge. Rowan Vine and Patrick Agyemang started up front. Rangers started well enough and grabbed the lead after nine minutes when Gavin Mahon of all people volleyed home from the edge of the box past the keeper. Rangers dominated for long periods with Balanta and Routledge impressing out wide but we failed to extend the lead with Vine and Agyemang both missing chances to kill the game off. Half time saw the usual changes made with Rowlands making way for Alberti and Adel Tarrabt came on for his first appearance since signing on loan in place of Patrick Agyemang. Tarrabat made a big impact coming on with his skill and vision and created an early chance for Vine but he was denied by the keeper. Oxford then drew level with a controversial penalty as a shot was hit into Gorkss body and handball was given which was harsh to say the least. Matt Green sent Cerny the wrong way from the spot to draw level. Rangers quickly restored the lead when Tarrabat played a role in creating a chance for Routledge who made no mistake from 12 yards out. Rangers looked set for a win before a rare mistake by Connolly put Jack Midson through to knock the ball past Cerny for a second equaliser. Rangers pushed for a late winner after more changes with Perlloci and Ainsworth coming on and both going close to a winner but it was not to be and Rangers ended up with a draw.Team: Cerny, Ramage (Borrowdale) Connolly, mahon, Hall (stewart), Gorkss, Routledge, Vine (Ainsworth), Balanta (Perlloci) Rowlands (Alberti) Agyemang (Tarrabat) | ||||||||||||||||||
