It took Rangers just 82 seconds into the second half to take the lead, captain James Tavernier playing a fine ball to the far post where Igamane was free to deflect a left-footed shot over the bar for his fifth goal in as many games.

The equalizer came when Solanke ran from the right and crossed the ball, James Maddison wanted a penalty because he was challenged, but it was played for Kulusevski to shoot.

Forster then came to the rescue with his wonder save – and Dessers also had a shot in the offside.

What a save from Fraser Forster to deny Cyriel Dessers 👏🤩
