At face value Arbroath took a heavy beating at Ibrox, and Rangers did win comfortably in the end. But for more than half of the game Red Lichties’ fans were holding on to realistic dreams of a first success at Ibrox since John Fletcher grabbed the decisive goal in a 3-2 victory almost 40 years ago. Rangers boss Ally McCoist was quick to admit his side were flattered by the final score, and praised the visitors’ performance. “It was a great win because I don’t think anyone would have predicted that score at half-time,” McCoist said. “They did very well and I’ve no doubt that their team and their manager will be disappointed. “For long periods of time they knocked the ball around very well, and they got behind us a few times. They are a good side.” Lichties manager Paul Sheerin was encouraged by his team’s performance for much of the game, but took a pragmatic view of the outcome. He said: “You could say it’s unlucky or it’s harsh, but at the end of the day it’s 5-1 karen
