Kilmarnock 1-2 Rangers: Connor Goldson header earns win for Steven Gerrard’s side

Connor Goldson’s header sealed the points for Rangers

Connor Goldson’s stoppage-time header ensured Rangers enjoyed a winning start to their Scottish Premiership campaign after a dramatic meeting at Kilmarnock.

Steven Gerrard’s side – who lost both visits to Rugby Park last term – looked on course for a fourth win in five this season after Scott Arfield forced in.

The Ibrox side’s familiar flaw of losing late goals appeared to have struck again when Stephen O’Donnell lashed in a leveller, only for Goldson to ram a header past Laurentiu Branescu to clinch victory.

The defeat is a second in three matches for new Rugby Park manager Angelo Alessio, who has come under pressure early in his reign after losing to Welsh part-timers Connah’s Quay Nomads in the Europa League.
