00:00are the only premiership team Rangers haven't beaten this season they know they need to change
00:04that right here right now but they also know what Falkirk have to offer James. Absolutely they know
00:11it's going to be a tough afternoon for them having played Falkirk and struggled to you know beat them
00:17haven't beaten them Falkirk I know are disappointed they haven't managed to get victories against
00:21Rangers so they know it's going to be a tough game plenty of opponents for the form the results
00:26of performances this season Falkirk and rightly so but Rangers know exactly what's in front of them
00:31you know what's ahead of them as well in the league table so it should be an entertaining game.
00:37Carvin Miller gets involved straight away and there'll be a few more crosses coming from him
00:42probably better ones than that. No doubt they can understand why he's taking it early threat in
00:49behind running off the ball just trying to wrap his foot around it can't quite get the connection
00:54he's looking for but what a season he's having. Rangers draw here in October led to the demise of
01:02Russell Martin who was escorted out of the ground as fans surrounded the team bus six months is a long
01:11time in football just look at Rangers now. That isn't half Rangers pretty sure those players won't be
01:19thinking about that afternoon certainly a lot to look forward to the job that Dan had always done since
01:25coming in as manager to have them in the position they're in and where they were is quite remarkable.
01:41both teams have been prone to early goals this season
01:47this should be quite a contest
01:51here's Brad Spencer
01:58there's quite a breeze swirling around the Falkland Stadium which I know is hardly breaking news in these parts
02:06it's a bit more than a breeze as well I have to say
02:12Magoma continuing in the absence of Tor Romans who should be back soon
02:17Chikwani now has Mikey Moore available
02:21that's gonna drift away from him
02:24yeah I mean it has to be better
02:26Chikwani I know that
02:29you can you can maybe put it down to the win but Mikey Moore is outstanding
02:32in the early one in the left back area a little one two that just has to be a straight
02:37pass for Mikey Moore to run onto it's always running away from him
02:41but it will take a period adjustment for the players
02:44use to the wind and conditions
02:53blustery and some
02:54looks like the rain of earlier seems to be away
03:03for only the second time in this
03:06remarkable Premiership season
03:08we could see Celtic hearts and Rangers
03:11all winning
03:12in the same round of fixtures
03:14it only happened
03:15January 10th 11th
03:20Falk will have something to say about that Ian
03:26power back by
03:28Liam Henderson there
03:29Calvin Miller chasing
03:39James Tavernier who is two appearances away from
03:43joining the top five appearance makers
03:47the Rangers football clock
03:54Philip Lyssa moving out to left back to accommodate the return of
03:58Cole Donaldson as said a half
04:03Lyssa who has had an impressive loan spell from Swansea
04:18Phil Lyssa
04:22he's been outstanding this season Phil Lyssa
04:24played it right back, he's played it centre back, he's left back to date
04:28Phil Lyssa
04:29a real stand out performer
04:30and a really strong Falk at side
04:33it's going to be a tough call for the fans
04:35for the player of the year this season
04:36because all throughout the team
04:38staff performers
04:44Lyssa seems able to slot into any position
04:50one of the few players from Swansea
04:52one of the few players from Swansea
04:52on loan in Scotland this season
04:55as Fred Spencer
04:58takes a wee tumble there
05:08this is broken currently for Calvin Miller
05:11options available
05:13it's Brazil
05:14yeah
05:18it's Falkirk
05:19he's struck early
05:24we said
05:25they might cause problems
05:27for the title chasers
05:29they just did
05:30the Rangers
05:31he called there the goal
05:33and it's no surprise
05:34it's come down this left hand side
05:36with Calvin Miller
05:37the form he's been in this season
05:38highlighted by the guys
05:40before the game
05:41they're getting into these areas
05:43and it's one thing getting there
05:44getting your head up
05:45putting it into position
05:46brought you over the composure
05:48to just take a touch
05:49and smash it into the net
05:51good work with Barnaby Stewart
05:52initially
05:52but Calvin Miller
05:54what a season he's having
05:55another assist for him
05:57and a really nice goal from Falkirk
05:59typical of them
06:00the score goes like that
06:01week in week out
06:08Calvin Miller's eighth assist in the Premiership this season
06:14and Ben Broggio
06:16all known from Aston Villa
06:17scores his fourth goal for Falkirk
06:20an early setback for Rangers
06:31point being it is early
06:32they have time to recover
06:34but Falkirk are already beating Falkirk
06:37yeah they are
06:38well many people
06:40maybe thought that Falkirk has achieved a goal
06:42by getting into that top six
06:44but this is an ambitious hungry group
06:47with a hungry manager
06:48that will always want more
06:50there was no way they were going to take the foot off the gas
06:53big semi-final coming up next week
06:54but they'll have their eye on catching Hibs above them
06:59standards won't drop from Falkirk
07:02well he's been manager of the year
07:04PFA
07:05Scotland's choice for the last two seasons
07:07he might well be on a hat-trick at this rate
07:10certainly in the running
07:11no wonder
07:13quite outstanding job
07:14that he's doing at the moment
07:15we do feel
07:17there's more to come from this Falkirk side
07:26here's Nico Raskan though
07:28as Rangers look
07:30for a rapid response
07:32Asghar
07:37here's Magoma
07:39who did score from range against Dundee United this season
07:43Raskan keeps it alive
07:45Tavernier
07:46unable to get his shot away
07:52I had to double check when you said Tavernier
07:54I'm thinking what is he doing up there
07:55but
07:55so often we see him popping up when it matters
07:59but you didn't double check as much as I did
08:02yeah I'm glad you had to go first there Ian
08:15the Rangers have failed to win on their last four league visits to Falkirk
08:19the last time they went five without a defeat
08:22without a win rather in these parts
08:24this was
08:25in 19-11
08:26this was
08:52in 19-11
08:54and
08:55Alvin Miller
08:56but he's allowed
08:57Tavernier
08:58to stop
08:59him on that occasion
09:03Chaniti's flick
09:05here's Mikey Moore
09:07having some season on loan from Tottenham Hotspur
09:09who probably could have done with him themselves
09:20now Barney Stewart
09:21that was some pass from Dylan Tate
09:23it's an awkward angle here for Stewart
09:26he's hoping others are arriving
09:28but they weren't that quickly
09:29I think that he's just trying to get out of his feet
09:32thought about the shot early
09:33and then he had to look up and
09:36realises that he's on his own
09:37but what a pass it is
09:42Donaldson stopping that as he did a moment ago
09:47Hawker
09:48right up for this for sure
09:51Phil Yates unhappy that Broccio
09:53hadn't continued running
09:54yeah and he has to continue running
09:57it's a right pass but
09:58you see there
09:59Calvin Miller
10:01just continuing what has been a fantastic season so far
10:04from top of the assist charts
10:09you look at Falkirk
10:11and they've received plenty of applause for how they play
10:13and rightly so
10:14but their energy and their work off the ball
10:16they're impressive
10:18so impressive
10:23Chamiti
10:29Tomlinson gets himself in the way
10:30and gets the free kick
10:36I tell you as a forward there's a few things more frustrating than
10:40the defender getting in front of you
10:42with the collapsible legs and getting the fill
10:45I can totally understand Chermiti's point of view there
10:51feeling your pain from years ago
10:53I mean it's
10:55you have to say it's good play
10:56but there's nothing more frustrating
10:58when you know you've not made a fill
11:08here's Tavernier
11:13release up
11:19Tate finding his range again to pick out Calvin Miller
11:24now Devin Tate
11:25who arrives on the scene himself
11:30looking for Keelan Adams
11:32yeah I can understand the idea
11:34I don't think it's on
11:35Keelan Adams is slightly wider
11:37it's
11:37too straight a pass for him to get on the end of
11:39the ideas right
11:42good work from Chamiti and Asghar
11:44to feed Kusama
11:48Tabanir
11:51Asghar
11:52Osama
11:52hung in there
11:54Savanir
11:55to send this cross in
11:56over the head of Chamiti
12:01Fernandes
12:15More
12:21that's
12:22Giga
12:22and Manny Fernandes
12:24the
12:25preferred partnership at the back
12:26today
12:26no place again for
12:28John Suter
12:29who did start the last
12:31match against his former club
12:32Dundee United
12:37the
12:38the
12:39the
12:47tabanir into Asghar
12:49situation red by
12:50Henderson
12:52Tate
12:54Barney Stewart showing interest
12:57That's Ajiga, knew he had to deal with that.
13:02Yeah, he's not going to get that tight.
13:04Ajiga, Barney Stewart, chased him down.
13:18Donaldson floats it towards Miller.
13:24Tussling with Tavenier.
13:30Resguard now for Chukwani.
13:38It's going to be a free kick for the Rangers.
13:43Love to see him if I thought it is. It's not a foul. I think Roger wins the ball.
13:50I think he's fortunate there, Magomar.
14:08Chumiti. Chukwani.
14:18Chumiti. Chukwani.
14:23Asgard. Chumiti. Kusama drills it low.
14:31Chumiti determined to keep this alive and does.
14:40Asgard.
14:44Chumiti.
14:46Chumiti.
14:47Chumiti.
14:49Chumiti.
15:02Chumiti.
15:03Chumiti could take that in a little bit closer. Get a shot away.
15:34Chumiti.
15:38Chumiti.
15:40Chumiti.
15:53Chumiti.
16:04Asgard.
16:07A familiar scorer for them, very familiar, is standing over this one.
16:22Doesn't look like the shot is happening.
16:25Here's the wind, they're having a shot from there.
16:33It's actually Asgard who sent it in to Chamiti.
16:37There's no flag there, and a big chance to level it goes begging.
16:42It's more than a big chance.
16:44I mean, it's excellent from Asgard to deliver it.
16:47Probably going to be offside to Sperry's blushes,
16:50but that should be Nestling in the back of the net.
16:52No excuse there, Yusuf Chamiti.
16:54Clearly off the training ground.
16:56It's excellent, great invention.
16:59He's had a lot of time to see it.
17:00Let it drop.
17:02Such a poor finish.
17:05He has missed 16.
17:06What a termed as big chances in the Premiership.
17:09Only one man has missed more of those this season.
17:13Dyson Mider of Celtic.
17:17Here's Keelan Adams.
17:22Pagoma deals with him.
17:30Yeah, I think, had it gone in, I think that they've been ruled out for being offside,
17:34but he still has to, he has to take that opportunity.
17:39It's such a big chance for him.
17:40He's looking at it the whole time.
17:42He's got to let it drop a little bit lower to take his chance.
17:46He just doesn't have the conviction required there, and we've seen him obviously score a couple of outstanding goals this
17:53season.
17:53I think, those are the types of chances that you have to be taking while leading the line for Rangers.
18:04Scott Fry, the set-piece coach who arrived from Lincoln and has certainly made an impact.
18:12Yeah, the pass from Asghar is outstanding because we're speaking about the conditions, how difficult it is to be accurate.
18:18It is pinpoint.
18:20He's actually walking back towards his own goal as he takes it.
18:24Outstanding technique from him.
18:28Tate!
18:28Tate!
18:30This could be awkward for Fernandes.
18:34He's fended off Barney Stewart.
18:37And seen off everyone else.
18:39Raskin here for Asgard
18:42who then ran in to Donaldson
18:53Tavernier
18:58here's Adams
19:03Barney Stewart's in the hunt
19:09he's flashed away past Buckland
19:14it's great movement from Barney Stewart
19:17see him he's off the back of Jigga
19:18runs across the face just holds it up
19:20again wait for help
19:23he's causing problems
19:46Falkirk finishing in the top half of the top flight
19:48for the first time in over 30 years
19:51when Jim Jefferies was in charge
19:53saw him at hearts yesterday looking well
19:55and he said that they should have won the title that year
19:59did they shout at you
20:16Chukwani
20:18he's shrugging off Braggio
20:20but the challenge was enough to see
20:22Chukwani fall
20:24that's a loose one which Raskin is on to
20:28now Gassama
20:35Asgard
20:37gets away by Adams
20:58Falkirk more than meriting their top six finish
21:00when they return to the top flight after 15 years away
21:08they held Rangers to a goal destroy at Ibrox at the end of November
21:12Rangers were
21:13booed off then
21:16not so much of that going in lightly though
21:18as they mount their own challenge
21:20for the title
21:32Magoma
21:44Fernandes
21:47Swap sides
21:49swap positions with
21:50Chica at the moment
21:58Chica floats one towards Tavern here
22:01with benefits from Miller's
22:04incapacity to clear
22:05and that's going to be another free kick
22:06in a promising position here for Rangers
22:14yeah Calvin Miller
22:15trying to chest that down
22:17that's a strong challenge
22:19from Brad Spencer
22:23slightly late
22:26it's a heavy challenge
22:27and this is another opportunity for Rangers to
22:30get a ball into the box
22:32can they match the quality they showed
22:39well the idea was good last time
22:41the execution not so
22:44maybe VAR would have got involved
22:46although there was no flag initially
22:52what will they try this time
22:55Manny Fernandes
22:57there's often been a threat in these scenarios
23:11Tavernier makes the signal
23:13Asgard
23:14is off target
23:17that's another decent ball
23:20very good ball
23:20Asgard just pulling to the back post
23:22but I don't know if he shuts his eyes
23:23takes his eye off it
23:24comes off the top of his head
23:26I know that Henderson's in front of him
23:27but he should be doing so much better there
23:29hello Asgard
23:33he doesn't have to score
23:34he can head that back across goal
23:35into the area
23:43John Robertson just checking on
23:45Brad Spencer
23:46who was involved in that
23:49challenge
23:51who is actually on
23:5210 yellow cards this season
23:54he has to be a little careful
23:55because
23:5512
23:57would mean
23:58a two match ban
24:04the ball blew away from Scott Bain
24:07but he's okay second time
24:09you can tell Brad Spencer's not thinking about
24:11being on 10 yellow cards
24:12with his challenges
24:16and that probably
24:17epitomises
24:18you know people saying
24:19Fulcan achieve their goal
24:20at the top 6
24:21still get that
24:23competitive edge
24:24where they want to
24:25achieve even more
24:35Donaldson
24:40Adams
24:41Brogio nearby
24:42the goal scorer
24:47Tate
24:48with a swirler
25:07it's in the 8th now
25:08after
25:09Till and Tate
25:10moved in
25:11here is Tate
25:15Corny fails to clear again
25:19Spencer
25:20Miller
25:21Miller
25:30Philip Lisser is on to this
25:33and he's kept it in
25:38here is Adams
25:43Tate
25:44oh that's a hit
25:48that is a brilliant hit
25:50from Phil Yates
25:53stunning
25:54as is this scoreline
25:57although it might not surprise
25:58those Fulcan fans
26:00this is what they've
26:02come used to seeing
26:04but this is a major
26:06setback
26:06for Rangers
26:07well I mean
26:09it's out of nothing
26:10Fulcan great press
26:11again in good positions
26:12become a bit untidy
26:14a bit lacking in quality
26:16but I'll tell you what
26:17this is an outstanding finish
26:19from Finn Yates
26:20it comes from nowhere
26:22Deltate's trying to put that
26:23into the box
26:24he just runs onto it
26:26doesn't break stride
26:27it's bouncing
26:27it's very difficult
26:29for him to finish it
26:30the way he does
26:31the connection is excellent
26:33what a goal
26:34again
26:34from Fulcan
26:37Jack Ballen's got no chance
26:38probably takes him by surprise
26:40but it's such a clean strike
26:41in the corner
26:42it's a magnificent goal
26:44from Finn Yates
26:50well well
26:52don't think Fulcan are going to be content
26:55finishing sixth
26:56somehow they've still got a lot more to offer
26:58in this season
26:59and not just
26:59in the Scottish Premiership
27:03no absolutely not
27:04of course
27:04big semi-final
27:05coming up next week
27:06against
27:07fierce rivals
27:08in Dunfermline
27:09but they will be one
27:10to go and finish the season
27:11as high up the league
27:12as possible
27:13you can see
27:14that's their intent
27:21well Rangers
27:23have to dig deep
27:24something that
27:25Celtic and Hearts
27:26also had to do yesterday
27:29pretty much a given
27:30at this stage of the season
27:31in a title race
27:33Chiquani's cross
27:33comes off Adams
27:37hopped on its way
27:38by Braggio
27:42Tavernier
27:50Fulcan
27:51very easily could have beaten Rangers
27:54in the previous two draws this season
27:57they look like making up for that now
28:00yeah well
28:00they were disappointed
28:02they weren't able to get
28:03a victory
28:03in at least one of them
28:05and you can see
28:06the belief
28:07throughout their team
28:08and
28:09the talk has been
28:10Rangers coming into the game
28:12Mick Fulker
28:13certainly showing
28:14Neil Lennon
28:14he's got a lot to ponder
28:16for that
28:16that game
28:17we've been speaking about
28:18in the semi-final
28:20he won't be surprised
28:21with what he's watching here
28:22because this is not
28:23characteristic of Fulker
28:24this is exactly
28:26how they've performed
28:27all season
28:28great quality
28:29great intensity
28:31Rangers haven't been able to match him
28:33in either department
28:33at this point
28:39well Fulker
28:40with a better team
28:40at Motherwell
28:41last week
28:41and not many
28:43have been the better team
28:44against Motherwell
28:45this season
28:49they've got Motherwell's number
28:50this season
28:51Fulker
28:51that's for sure
28:53not only Motherwell
28:59Tim Yates chasing
29:05Chiquani
29:06Moore
29:08stopped by Donaldson
29:12tremendous energy
29:13in this Fulker team
29:28well
29:28a bit clinical
29:30you have to say
29:30from Fulker
29:32Brozio's
29:33clearly one where
29:34you'd expect him to score
29:35but Finn Yates
29:36with his goal
29:37quite outstanding technique
29:40probably
29:41doesn't tell the story
29:42when you look at
29:42even the possession
29:55Rangers title
29:56aspirations
29:56taking a big dent
29:57at the moment
29:58but can they
29:58turn it around
30:03Mikey Moore
30:05Kusama
30:08Marvin Miller
30:09takes it away
30:10from him
30:21Kusama
30:22Asgard
30:25for a free kick
30:29it is a foul
30:30but I feel
30:31that that's
30:32it's too long
30:33for me
30:33I think Kusama
30:34does brilliant
30:35drives infield
30:36Asgard still has
30:38the ball
30:38in and around
30:40the edge of the box
30:41no doubt
30:41it's a foul
30:42absolutely
30:43but I think
30:44that Kusama
30:45takes advantage
30:46of that situation
30:47driving into the pitch
30:57the captain
30:57over it
30:58as usual
31:00Rangers
31:01couldn't have
31:02do with something
31:02happening here
31:03hoisted in by
31:05Tavernier
31:06away by
31:07Lisa
31:09Goma
31:11around
31:11Carving
31:12Miller
31:12and then
31:13Broden down
31:14and that's
31:14going to be
31:15a yellow car
31:16I mean again
31:17it's just highlights
31:18the intensity
31:19from this
31:20Falkirk side
31:21they have it
31:22Rangers
31:22playing with a lack
31:24intensity
31:24particularly in these
31:25situations
31:25not dealing
31:26with the conditions
31:27wanting
31:28too much time
31:29in the ball
31:29you won't get it
31:30here
31:31against a Falkirk
31:32side
31:332-0 lead
31:34their energy
31:36is still there
31:37for them
31:45take so much
31:46time
31:47in the ball
32:05well
32:06big questions
32:06being asked
32:07of Rangers
32:07here
32:10currently
32:11sitting in
32:12third place
32:12after
32:14Celtic
32:14eked out
32:16another victory
32:16yesterday
32:19ek with a
32:20capital E
32:21I think
32:22yeah
32:23I think
32:23for Rangers
32:24it's
32:24you need
32:25to have
32:25more tempo
32:26in the play
32:29Chimiti
32:29Mikey Moore
32:30alongside
32:35no surprise
32:36that they
32:36should be
32:38halted
32:39there
32:39by
32:41Spencer
32:44Brogio
32:47Tate
32:48Yates
32:54Spencer
32:55Tate
33:03Spencer
33:09Donaldson
33:10Tate
33:14Spencer
33:15I think
33:20Yates
33:20will latch
33:20onto that
33:21clearance
33:21from
33:21Fernandez
33:24ball kicker
33:24got Rangers
33:25where they
33:26want them
33:26at the
33:26moment
33:26in this
33:27portion
33:28of the
33:28game
33:28and in
33:28terms
33:29of the
33:29scoreline
33:32yeah
33:32I mean
33:32they've
33:32shown
33:33great
33:33intensity
33:34to win
33:34the ball
33:35back
33:35but now
33:35they've
33:36shown
33:36how comfortable
33:37they are
33:37in possession
33:39again
33:39I said
33:40a minute
33:40ago
33:41to see
33:41more
33:42intensity
33:42from Rangers
33:43to go

33:43it
33:43back
33:44going to
33:45press
33:45it's
33:46not really
33:47there
33:47it's
33:47not full
33:48committal
33:49that's an
33:49outstanding
33:50pass
33:50from Scott
33:51Bain
33:52taken
33:52down
33:53brilliantly
33:53by Lisa
33:54Lisa
33:55onto it
33:55after
33:56Miller
33:56tried to
33:57cross it
34:00now Yates
34:00again
34:02Brazio
34:03just
34:04didn't connect
34:05as he wanted
34:06to
34:06there was
34:07something else
34:08special
34:09brewing there
34:09wasn't there
34:10yeah there was
34:11he's got to
34:11the first pass
34:13then try to
34:14change his
34:14mind
34:14ball just
34:15runs away
34:15from him
34:16Mikey Moore
34:17straight
34:18at Scott Bain
34:39here's
34:40Raskan
34:45just
34:46need
34:46to
34:47rally
34:53Rangers
34:54only
34:54beaten
34:54twice
34:55in the
34:56premiership
34:56this season
34:57on both
34:57occasions
34:57by
34:58hearts
34:59and now
35:00Brodjit
35:00is away
35:03he can
35:04get to it
35:04before it
35:06touches that
35:07line and he
35:08does
35:08he secures
35:09a throw
35:09yeah he does
35:10well but
35:10Keelan Adams
35:11is here and
35:12forward
35:12he's in a
35:13better position
35:13and this is
35:15Juden
35:16the goal
35:16but
35:17Darlene
35:17on the
35:17ball
35:19I think
35:20that
35:21I think
35:22it's a
35:22right decision
35:22for me
35:23he takes
35:24his touch
35:25square
35:26Calvin
35:26Miller
35:26I think
35:27there's
35:27a long
35:27way to
35:28go
35:30I know
35:31we've seen
35:31some
35:32bad decisions
35:33this season
35:33in terms
35:34of the
35:34dogs
35:34but
35:35that
35:35one
35:35not
35:35for
35:36me
35:36I
35:36think

35:37Robertson
35:39Forkut

35:41Henderson
35:41snapping
35:42away
35:42but
35:43his absence
35:44at the
35:44back
35:45means
35:46that
35:46it's a
35:47good pass
35:47from
35:47Trimuti
35:48there
35:48as he
35:48looked
35:48for
35:48Kasama
35:52Barney
35:53Stewart
35:53was
35:53down
35:54and hurt
35:54but
35:55he's
35:55back

36:19eventually
36:20it was
36:20blocked
36:22yeah
36:22good
36:23football
36:23intensity
36:24willingness

36:34just
36:34taken
36:35away
36:35in the
36:35nick
36:36of
36:36time
36:36there
36:36by
36:38Fernandes
36:38and
36:38another
36:40free kick
36:40which
36:41Rangers
36:42kind
36:42of
36:42needed
36:51has
36:53got
36:53Mikey
36:55Moore
36:55is not
36:56getting

36:57that
37:01if

37:12now

37:13final
37:13on
37:13Sky Sports
37:14tennis
37:22and the
37:22singles
37:23final
37:23later
37:26why on earth
37:27would you want to turn this over
37:29agreed
37:30Gassama
37:32it drifts wide
37:38yeah I mean
37:39not the best effort
37:40from JD Gassama
37:41but
37:42at least it's quicker
37:44he knows what he wants to do
37:45before the ball comes to him
37:46he tries to get it out of his feet
37:47and get his shot away
37:49which he does
37:49not troubling Scott Bain
37:51but there needs to be
37:52an injection of energy
37:53from this Rangers side
37:55if they want to get anything
37:56out of the game
37:56because at the minute
37:57Falkert having it all their own way
37:58when they're in possession
37:59when they're going to press
38:01and win the ball back
38:02running on
38:03in behind
38:03running off the ball
38:05Rangers just
38:06not at that level
38:07at the minute
38:19Dylan Tate
38:22Brad Spencer
38:27Arons
38:42well they're pinging these passes around for fun
38:45this afternoon
38:46Braggio got there
38:47and Fernandes have to put it behind
38:49for a corner
38:50yeah I mean it's got a long way to go
38:52that pass
38:53Dylan Adams again
38:55in space
38:55holding the width
38:56and then
38:57when he gets there
38:58he's got options
38:59Braggio tries to flash this across
39:01he can cut that back
39:02from the edge
39:03in the edge of the box there
39:06this is the first corner of the match
39:11Calvin Miller
39:12is going to take it
39:15his 100th league match
39:17for Falkert
39:19previous 99
39:20full of goals
39:21and assists
39:22already won today
39:24Miller takes
39:25away by
39:27Fernandes
39:48Tate
39:53Yates
39:57Buckingham will
39:58take that one
39:59with nobody around him
40:01Lisa's cross
40:07the final five minutes
40:08of the first half
40:09that has
40:09very much belonged to Falkert
40:11yeah it has
40:12it has
40:13in every department
40:14for me
40:16again I keep mentioning
40:17the tempo
40:17when you look at
40:19Rangers when Falkert
40:20have the ball
40:20so much of their success
40:22particularly in the last few weeks
40:23has been
40:23playing with that
40:24two strikers
40:26which allows them to then
40:28run in behind
40:29but
40:29be able to press
40:30Asghar just not
40:31he's playing off
40:32Chimbite
40:32who hasn't been able
40:33to get the press on
40:37a yellow card
40:39coming out here
40:40for Liam Henderson
40:45I just wonder if
40:46Danny Rowe's thinking about
40:47Oya Mijofsky
40:49to go back to
40:50having the two strikers
40:53because something has to
40:54change for Rangers
40:55not been good enough
40:56so far
41:00he sent out
41:01six subs
41:03to warm up Rangers
41:03a wee while ago
41:07which kind of sums up
41:08how their first half
41:09has gone
41:09but
41:10here's Tabernet
41:11to swing one in
41:12helped on by
41:12Nasa Jiga
41:14retreat here
41:15by Raskan
41:19Asghar
41:20sight of goal
41:22and off the post
41:24and Raskan's return
41:27has hit the post
41:29as well
41:29and Shaquani now
41:31has put it away
41:32a bizarre set
41:34of circumstances
41:35there
41:35but Rangers are
41:37right back in the game
41:38and the timing
41:39could be crucial
41:41it's a huge goal
41:42I mean the full cup
41:44players stop
41:44because
41:44they feel the ball
41:46has gone out of play
41:47when Raskan
41:48crossed it in
41:48and I must say
41:49because of the reaction
41:50I felt the same
41:51but you play
41:52at the whistle
41:53Asghar getting his shot away
41:55crashing off the post
41:57and they felt
41:57that that ball
41:58went out of play
41:59and they all stop
42:00every single one of them
42:03it's too late
42:04for that point
42:07Chiquani does it
42:08fires it into the net
42:13you have to continue
42:14to play on
42:15pray the Rangers
42:15they keep going
42:21well
42:22this is going to be
42:23an interesting
42:23VAR check
42:26yeah I mean
42:27I have to say
42:28they're so convinced
42:29the full cup players
42:31because they stopped
42:32playing
42:32I felt as though
42:33it was out
42:34and the flag was
42:35going to go up
42:36and the referee
42:36was going to blow
42:37the whistle
42:37but you have to play on
42:42Andrew Dallas
42:43is on VAR
42:44we can hear him
42:45except we can't hear him
42:46at the moment
42:46because he hasn't said anything
42:47but they're obviously
42:48having a long
42:50look
42:51to see
42:52if
42:53Falkirk's complaints
42:55will be met
42:56and
42:57they're going to have
42:58another look at this
42:59for 30 seconds
43:00before the decision
43:01is made
43:02via
43:03VAR
43:06yeah
43:06I think it's one
43:07where
43:07certainly from that angle
43:09it's
43:09impossible to tell
43:10and if that's the case
43:12then
43:12the goal will stand
43:13they have to be
43:14100% sure
43:15that the ball
43:16is going out of play
43:17here
43:21well what a big call
43:23Rangers
43:24staring at a 2-0 deficit
43:26but will they be back
43:28to 2-1
43:31the on-field decision
43:32is confirmed
43:33the goal is good
43:34and Rangers
43:36are right back
43:37in this
43:40and that will
43:41give them
43:42a necessary lift
43:46albeit in
43:46rather strange
43:47circumstances
43:48yeah I mean
43:48Rangers won't care
43:49and rightly so
43:50it wasn't pretty
43:51but you play to the whistle
43:53Falkirk's stock
43:55thinking the ball
43:56is going out of play
43:57but you have to play
43:58to the whistle
43:58credit Rangers
43:59they keep going
44:00Chikwani smashing
44:01into the net
44:02and it doesn't matter
44:03how they go in
44:03it matters that they go in
44:05and in and over
44:06looking for the response
44:07from his side now
44:08because up until this point
44:09they'll be miles off it
44:13we think there'll be
44:14three minutes
44:15added on to a first half
44:16that has changed
44:18complexion now
44:22Rangers needed
44:22something to go their way
44:28and it just did
44:30yeah I mean
44:31I think if the assistant
44:32or the referee
44:33doesn't give it
44:33there's no angle there
44:34to show you
44:35for sure
44:36whether it was in or out
44:37so you stick with the decision
44:38on field
44:39and that's absolutely right
44:40there's more Falkirk
44:42than you need to play
44:42the whistle
44:43deal with it
44:44clear it
44:44then you can argue
44:46with the referee
44:46or claim for
44:47the ball going out
44:48but they don't
44:49Rangers do it
44:50and they've got themselves
44:51back in this game
44:57Shumiti
44:59trying to move in there
45:00eventually clear it
45:04through Donaldson
45:08three extra minutes
45:09is confirmed
45:10at the end
45:10for this first half
45:22Jiga
45:33it's the field of the game
45:34where Falkirk
45:35have conceded quite a few
45:37it's happened again
45:39yeah
45:40again
45:40I'll say it
45:41it's because they switch off
45:42I assume the ball's going out
45:44no flag
45:45no whistle
45:46you have to play on
45:58spencer
45:59Shumiti
46:01tracking back
46:01to excellent effect
46:13Kassama
46:16spencer trying to keep up
46:17with him here
46:18well he's pulled it back here
46:20for Nico Raskan
46:21who seemed to have all the time
46:22in the world
46:23and then couldn't quite
46:24sort the ball out
46:24the ball moves
46:27as it's coming across
46:28he's trying to judge that
46:29with the wind
46:29he wants to take it first time
46:31Nico Raskan
46:32he's set for it
46:33and the ball just doesn't
46:34come to him the way
46:35he's expecting it to
46:38certainly much better
46:39from Rangers
46:40Kassama
46:41pace and power
46:42down the right hand side
46:44quality to get his head up
46:45and pick Raskan out
47:06that's Adjiga
47:09lifting that towards Tavernier
47:11Asgard
47:13he'll get the free kick
47:37the final 30 seconds
47:40of the first half
47:40in Folkert
47:44Rangers now looking
47:45for an equaliser
47:47having been down
47:48and out
47:48for most of the half
47:57it's Tavernier
47:58to float this in
47:59and it's over and out
48:06offside
48:07it's been given
48:07actually
48:07the flag was up
48:10it's a great delivery
48:11from Tavernier
48:12speaking about how difficult
48:14the conditions are
48:22the half-time whistle
48:23is imminent
48:24and it's been quite a half
48:25pretty much as we expected
48:28maybe not as Rangers expected
48:30but maybe as Folkert expected
48:31because they know
48:32what they have
48:33and they are giving Rangers
48:35a game once again
48:36here
48:37Ben Broggio
48:38dispatched
48:39Carl Van Miller's
48:40cross to give them
48:41the lead
48:42and then out of nothing
48:43Finn Yates made it
48:452-0 with a fine strike
48:46it was Folkert's half
48:47but they switched off
48:48thinking the ball
48:49had gone out
48:50and Tocci Chikwani
48:51switched on
48:53to bring Rangers
48:54back in
