Three And Easy

Kilmarnock Reserves 0, Rangers Reserves 3

by Tom Miller

THE STRIKING qualities of Nacho Novo and Andrius Velicka were too hot for Kilmarnock tonight as Rangers claimed a comfortable win at Rugby Park.

Industrious Spaniard Novo scored twice in the first half, set up by Velicka on both occasions,

And Novo returned the favour in the second half from an indirect free kick inside the box - an incident which led to the dismissal of Killie keeper Chad Harpur.

There were good performances throughout the Rangers side with young Ulsterman Andy Little excellent at the back beside experienced Christian Dailly and exciting Spaniard Aaron showing his skills for the 70 minutes he played.

The only down side was a knock to Chris Burke which forced his substitution at half-time.

Novo struck the opening goal after just seven minutes when Velicka played him in then made it 2-0 on 33 minutes when he finished well after another good lay-off from the Lithuanian.

The match was safe in 75 minutes when Gavin Skelton clearly passed the ball back to keeper Harpur when trying to divert a cross in from Georgios Efrem.

An indirect free kick was awarded just outside the six yard line and Killie put everyone on the goal-line.

Novo touched the ball back to Velicka and he rifled it high into the net.

Harpur complained so much about the decision that was sent off by referee Craig but the 10 men of Killie managed to hold out without conceding again.

RANGERS: Robinson; McLachlan, Little, Dailly, Stevie Smith; Burke (Efrem), Loy, Edu (Fleck), Aaron (Kinniburgh); Novo, Velicka

whos Little is he not a promising striker play in defence??

Aye, is a Striker and plays upfront for N.I but we're trying to turn him into a defender!

Has played everywhere for the under 19s - central mid, behind the front two and as a target man.

He's an intelligent player, I think that's perhaps what Walter or his staff see in him. Can read the game fantastically.

He's played at full back for us before - but when he signed his new contract it was on the premise that he is played at centre half.
