  • Rangers come from 2-0 down to beat Falkirk 6-3 in thriller.
  • Youssef Chermiti and Bojan Miovski lead second-half surge in dominant attacking display.
  • Rangers score six away from home for first time in five years

Rangers produced one of their most dramatic performances in recent memory.

Danny Rohl’s side roaring back from two goals down to defeat Falkirk 6-3 in a chaotic Premiership encounter in Grangemouth.

Goals from Ben Broggio and Finn Yeats had stunned the visitors early on, leaving Rohl’s side with a mountain to climb.

Tochi Chukwuani’s strike before the break offered a lifeline, but the real turnaround came after the interval.

Bojan Miovski sparks revival

The introduction of Bojan Miovski proved decisive, with Youssef Chermiti levelling within minutes of the restart.

From there, Rangers overwhelmed Falkirk, as Nico Raskin and Miovski swung momentum firmly in their favour.

A penalty from Calvin Miller briefly threatened to derail the comeback, but Rangers responded emphatically.

Chermiti and Miovski both struck again to cap a ruthless second-half display and secure a vital three points.

The result moves Rangers to within a point of league leaders Heart of Midlothian heading into the split, maintaining pressure at the top of the table.

It also returns them into second spot, ahead of Old Firm rivals Celtic despite their narrow win over St Mirren yesterday.

First six for five years

It also marked a notable milestone, with Rangers scoring six goals away from home for the first time since their 6-1 victory over Motherwell at Fir Park in 2021.

On that occasion, Rangers also had to respond after falling behind, with a Fashion Sakala hat-trick leading the charge.

Goals from Kemar Roofe and Glen Kamara, alongside a trademark strike from James Tavernier, completed a dominant away performance.

Five years on, this latest comeback may prove even more significant, not just for the goals scored, but for the resilience shown.

With momentum building at a crucial stage of the season, Rangers head into the split with belief, firepower and a title race very much alive.

The side’s mentality has been questioned, they provided six separate answers today.
