Rangers' Under-19s kept their unbeaten record in the CAS Elite League by defeating Kilmarnock 4-3 on Tuesday night. This result at the team's training complex halted Kilmarnock's undefeated streak for the campaign.
Corey Ngwenya scored first for the home side. After Kilmarnock's Cole Burke responded, 16-year-old Luca Rankin made it 3-1 before halftime. Ellis scored from a penalty spot for Rangers after a foul on Simpson, and Conor Owen netted another goal in the second period.
Late drama as Kilmarnock fight back
Kilmarnock scored twice quickly near the end of the match to close the gap. Cole Bickerton found the net for the away team shortly after Ellis's penalty. Defenders James Reid, Conor Owen and Corey Ngwenya helped Rangers see out the win.
Key contributions from young stars
The Rangers team, featuring several young players, had scorers from different positions. Midfielder Ashton Patton continued his scoring form. Rydnn McGuire was the goalkeeper, with Calum Young and Ben Hutton in midfield behind forwards Coben Fergusson and Ruaridh Hall.
The win continues a positive period for the club. The senior team is near the top of the league and has won several consecutive matches. Their next game is against Kilmarnock. The Under-19s will also face Kilmarnock again in their next league match.
