Rangers ended a run of three defeats as they produced one of the narrow football results of the weekend in the Scottish Premiership. Antonio Colak opened the scoring in the eighth minute before doubling their advantage in the 49th minute. Liam Smith pulled a goal back for the visitors at the hour mark but could not find the equalizer in the time left on the clock.
Managers Reaction
Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst: “It’s a big win after the difficult weeks we’ve had. The result today was the most important thing. It should have been more comfortable. We started really well and got the early goal. We need to learn to kill games earlier. That’s something we need to do better. That cost us at times last season. It’s good to go into the international break with a win, now we can give players a bit of a rest to recharge for a demanding and tough run of games. It was good to give Leon (King) and Charlie (McCann) minutes. I think they both deserved it and I’m happy with the way they contributed.”
Interim Dundee United boss Liam Fox: “I couldn’t have asked for any more from the players in terms of attitude and application and there was some good stuff there, but we lost the game, so my overriding feeling is of disappointment. You always fear the worst going 2-0 down at a place like this but the players stood up, showed character, and we pushed right to the end.”
