Tochi Chukwuani pulls one back for Rangers against Falkirk, but did the ball go out of play?

The home side appeared to stop in anticipation of a goal kick after Raskin's cross curled over the goalmouth seconds after Thelo Aasgaard hit the post. But the ball landed on the head of Djeidi Gassama, whose header hit the post before Chukwuani converted the rebound.

The introduction of Bojan Miovski for Mikey Moore at the break was a key change by Röhl.

Gassama was moved to the left and won the ball on the edge of the Falkirk box with his low cross flicked home by Chermiti, who soon sliced a decent chance to put his team in front.

Chermiti missed another chance before Raskin set up Miovski to bundle home with a cross from the left.

Falkirk got a lifeline in the 70th minute when Miller netted from the spot after Tavernier had brought down Filip Lissah.

But Raskin was involved again when Rangers restored their two-goal cushion, bursting forward before Chermiti netted after Gassama's shot was blocked.

Rangers head coach Danny Röhl speaking to Sky Sports:

"Our start was not well. It was exactly what we'd expect and we struggled in the first 10-15 minutes with the pitch.

"But outstanding reaction. We go, we focus on our job to do.

"It's much easier to go in this small break with a win, of course, but the spirit is great and after the game you see the relationship, the connection between our supporters and the team.

"We are one team now and this is great.

"Look back, four or five months ago I was in this situation here in Falkirk and today after the game [when Russell Martin was sacked].

"It shows a lot about our direction from the club and keep going, keep believing what the supporters told us and that's what we have to do."
