Prso on target to put Rangers within striking distance of Celtic

Dunfermline 0 Rangers 1

Dado Prso grabbed the only goal of the game after seven minutes to hand Rangers the win at East End Park. The victory allowed Rangers to move to within two points of leaders Celtic in the Bank of Scotland Premier League table ahead of next week’s Old Firm clash.

Rangers manager Alex McLeish had put their midweek defeat by Dundee United down to a bad day at the office, but he was well aware that a similar result against Dunfermline would not be acceptable to the Ibrox faithful. McLeish was disappointed his side could not wrap up the three points against the Pars before the interval.
