HOLT: LUCK FINALLY TURNING GERS WAY

MIDFIELDER Jason Holt thinks Rangers’ luck has finally turned around as they survived a Hibs barrage at Easter Road.

The I brox side had to batten down the hatches as Neil Lennon’s Leith outfit threw everything at them during the midweek clash.

But the Gers came away from the capital with three points after Josh Windass and Alfredo Morelos struck in a 2-1 smash-and-grab win.

Holt confessed his team had to rely on a major stroke of fortune to secure their fourth straight victory.

Lennon was left fuming after the match when Light Blues subbie David Bates got away with what he thought was a “blatant” penalty-box handball, while wide-man Brandon Barker hit the post twice among a series of chances that went begging for the hosts.

But Holt insists Graeme Murty’s men deserved that break after coming out on the wrong end of the twists of fate this term.

“We probably had a wee bit of luck on our side,” said Holt. “The second half we were under a bit of pressure but sometimes you need a bit of luck in this game.

“Previously this season we’ve not had that luck but this time we got it. That win says a lot about the belief in the squad right now.

“That belief has been really evident over the past few weeks and especially during the second half at Easter Road when we had to dig in massively and show real determination.

“I think the spirit saw us through.”
