Rangers wins Scottish Cup

-

Football: Rangers won its first Scottish Cup in more than a decade after quickfire extratime goals from substitute­s Ryan Jack and Scott Wright helped it beat Hearts 20 in the final at Hampden Park yesterday to ease its midweek Europa League heartache.

Hearts survived a flurry of late chances in normal time and had keeper Craig Gordon to thank for a remarkable save with his outstretch­ed foot to deny Joe Aribo before Wright hit the bar.

Jack's thunderous shot from the edge of the penalty area in the 94th minute finally broke Hearts' resistance and Wright sealed the win by latching on to Ryan Kent's pass and slotting the ball past the helpless Gordon. — Reuters
