The striker’s 16th minute header earned him a suspected compound fracture and he now set for a spell on the sidelines.
Dazed Danilo banged Rangers in front as the Brazilian’s brave finish ensured Michael Beale’s head was kept off the block for another week.
Graham Carey had the chances to put the breaks on the rapid counterattack but when Tavernier breezed past the Irishman’s half-hearted challenge, he was left clear to send a dangerous cross into the box for Danilo. The Brazilian bravely puts his head in where it hurts to nod Gers in front but a sickening collision with Liam Gordon forced the pair off. It was a dull one, with Danilo in particular sporting a belter of a swollen bump to the side of his eye.
Ben Davies was the most relieved man in Perth when his mistake went unpunished as his criminally short bass pack to Butland invited Kane to hit the deck at the keeper’s feet. He was on the deck again moments later as he tussled with Tom Lawrence at a corner but telly official Gavin Duncan decided neither claim was strong enough to invite Nick Walsh for a look at the screen.
Boost for Beleaguered Beale The knives were getting sharpened for Rangers boss Michael Beale ahead of this trip to Perth. Beale even started Ridvan Yilmaz at left-back despite having left the Turk out of his Europa League squad. But the same still can’t be said for Beale’s position at Ibrox and if he is to cling to his job, peformance levels are going to have to raise drastically on yet another drab display.
