SALVAGE JOB

Dorrans is saviour as Rangers grab point

- By JOHN McGARRY

GRAHAM DORRANS was forced to salvage a point for Rangers against ten-man Partick Thistle with a late wonder strike at Firhill last night.

But Pedro Caixinha’s men are set to lose further ground on Premiershi­p leaders Celtic and Aberdeen who host Ross County and Kilmarnock respective­ly today.

Alfredo Morelos gave the visitors a dream start when he fired them ahead in 19 minutes with his eighth goal in the last six games.

But that was cancelled out by Blair Spittal’s free-kick before skipper Chris Erskine put Thistle ahead on the hour mark. Erskine was then to see red for a wild challenge on Morelos before Dorrans hit a 77th-minute equaliser.

Ibrox skipper Lee Wallace is an injury doubt for next Saturday’s first Old Firm game of the campaign after limping off early in the match.
