A brace from Bilel Mohsni has given Rangers the victory against Ayr United in their Scottish League One clash this evening.

Ayr's Craig Malcolm had a great chance to put his side ahead in the opening minutes but his effort curled agonisingly wide of the post.

Malcolm then turned provider after putting a great ball into the box, but Richard Foster was there to clear.

Cammy Bell saved well from Michael Donald's header before Lee McCulloch fired over the bar just before the interval.

Rangers eventually broke the deadlock after the break when Mohsni rose to head home a Fraser Aird corner.

Jon Daly came close to adding a second for Rangers after Ayr struggled to clear their lines but his shot was saved.

Ayr keeper David Hutton again had to come to his side's rescue, this time saving from Ian Black who was through on goal.

Alan Forrest then put Ayr on level terms when he slotted home an equaliser after latching on to Scott McLaughlin's through-ball.

Mohsni smashed in his and Rangers second 10 minutes from time, however, to secure victory and all three points.
