Draw leaves Rangers facing double disappointment
http://xorky.com/2008/05/18/draw-leaves-rangers-facing-doubl...Rangers suffered a second huge setback in four days after a 1-1 draw against Motherwell tilted the Scottish Premier League title race in Celtic’s favour. Christian Dailly gave Walter Smith’s side the lead in the first half, but Motherwell’s Chris Porter levelled after the break to deal a withering blow to Rangers, who are now three points behind Celtic with a game in hand. Celtic also boast a superior goal difference by a margin of seven goals. Smith made five changes following the Uefa Cup final defeat against Zenit St Petersburg, adding Daniel Cousin and Nacho Novo to an attack that was utterly invisible in Manchester. But it was a defender, Dailly, who went close to opening the scoring when meeting Carlos Cuellar’s cross from the right with his head. Skipper Barry Ferguson had a headed chance of his own shortly afterwards but failed to trouble Graeme Smith in the Motherwell goal. Ferguson then turned provider when he released Novo into the box and the striker skipped past Stephen Craigan, only to screw the shot past the upright. Rangers’ early pressure eventually told after 29 minutes when Dailly’s header from Kirk Broadfoot’s long ball caught Craigan out of position. Several chances were then spurned by Rangers to secure the points, with Novo particularly guilty. They were made to pay the price shortly after the break, when David Clarkson’s header rattled off the post before the ball broke to Darren Smith, whose flick was turned in by Porter from close range. guardian.co.uk Tags: chris, ferguson
