IT’S a wounding defeat for Barry Ferguson as Rangers lose their THIRD match at Ibrox in a row.
The former Ibrox hero got a come-from-behind 4-2 win against Kilmarnock from his first match in charge.
But for a second successive game they went TWO goals down early on – and this time they COULDN’T recover.
Jack Butland was to blame for the opener as he could fumbled Luke Armstrong’s tame drive out, allowing the Well striker to finish.
Tom Sparrow then shocked Ibrox with an excellent second – with Ferguson making THREE changes at half time.
Cyriel Dessers pounced on a mistake from Ellery Balcombe to give the Gers a lifeline and the same man had a goal disallowed for offside late on.
But it wasn’t to be for the Ibrox men and it was no surprise that boos should ring out around this ground on a day when skipper James Tavernier made his 500th appearance for the club.
