Burke puts the knife into Pedro
Rangers 1 Kilmarnock 1
RYAN JACK was sent off in a chaotic finale at Ibrox as Chris Burke heaped more pressure on Pedro Caixinha with an injury-time equaliser for Kilmarnock.
Jason Holt’s strike appeared to have earned manager Caixinha a muchneeded victory and Rangers looked destined for the points when Broadfoot gave away a penalty for a barge on Eduardo Herrera just inside the box.
After much debate and delay, Jack was eventually sent off for appearing to kick out at the former Rangers defender.
Both players were initially booked but referee Alan Muir then got out the red card after an intervention by the fourth official.
Jamie Macdonald saved the penalty from Daniel Candeias and substitute Burke sealed a 1-1 draw moments later when the former Rangers winger converted Stephen O’donnell’s low cross at the far post.
Caixinha was removed from the drama after earlier accepting a one-match ban from the Scottish Football Association after being sent to the stand during his side’s Betfred Cup semi-final defeat by Motherwell.
The Portuguese had accused his players of embarrassing the club on Monday, after accepting responsibility for the defeat 24 hours earlier, and demanded a winning reaction.
But Steve Clarke will be the far happier manager after Kilmarnock finished his first match in charge strongly.
