Rangers B taught a lesson by students

Stirling University 4-0 Rangers B

Stirling University made it four wins in a row on Saturday with a stunning 4-0 win over Rangers B at Forthbank.

First-half goals from Scott Mcarthur and Conor Doan handed the students a comfortable halftime lead.

Rangers tried to hit back in the second half but Jamie Penker extended Stirling’s lead before Euan Mcgill grabbed a late fourth.

Head coach Chris Geddes said afterwards:“i’m over the moon and the boys are delighted.

“We had to keep our shape and throw ourselves in front of things at times and keeper Ben Fry made some really good saves, but we were clinical and that killed the game. It’s a great win for us, I don’t know how many teams have taken four off the Old Firm teams this year.

“When you play these teams, you need all of your individual players to play well, and we did that. We got a complete performance and that contributed to getting four goals and a clean sheet.”

After 20 minutes the students took the lead. Jason Jarvis was productive all afternoon and the midfielder found Mcarthur who cut into the box past two defenders and slotted past Cervantes in the Rangers goal.

Doan was the next midfielder to get on the scoresheet. A pinpoint corner from Jarvis caused the Gers defence problems and Doan was on hand to tuck away the loose ball.

Stirling were forced into defending well in the second half as the visitors came out firing. Fry was called upon twice with two great saves before Penker compiled more misery on the young Gers.

And with a minute left Mcgill capped a fine team performance when the ball broke to the substitute on the edge of the box and he coolly found the net.
