Rangers bounced back from a 2-0 deficit to thrice the hosts 6-3 at Falkirk, keeping their Scottish Premiership title hopes alive.


Danny Rohl's side were poor in the first half, conceding to Ben Broggio and Finn Yeats.


Tochi Chukwuani sparked Rangers' comeback with a controversial goal just before halftime.


Rangers exploded in the second half, scoring three goals in 11 minutes to turn the game around. Chermiti equalized, Raskin put them ahead, and Miovski made it 4-2.


Despite Falkirk's Miller scoring a penalty, Chermiti and Miovski added more goals to seal a 6-3 win for Rangers.


Wins for Hearts and Celtic on Saturday had put the onus on Rangers to keep pace with their title rivals.


Rangers responded, leaving them just one point behind leaders Hearts and two ahead of third-placed Celtic as the title race approaches a thrilling finale.


Rangers haven't won the title since 2021, while Hearts are aiming to dethrone champions Celtic by taking their first Scottish crown since 1960.


That 1-1 draw was the final game of Russell Martin's dismal reign, with the manager needing a police escort to protect him from angry fans.


Rangers have been revitalised by Rohl, but it was hard to discern that impact when Falkirk went ahead after just six minutes.


Miller whipped a low cross towards Broggio, who easily evaded Rangers' sloppy marking to slot home from six yards.


Falkirk made it 2-0 in the 26th minute, Yeats' powerful shot beating Jack Butland.


Chukwuani pulled one back in bizarre fashion just before halftime.


Chukwuani prodded home from five yards, benefiting from a mix-up as Falkirk thought the ball was out.


VAR checked it, but Chukwuani celebrated after replays were inconclusive.




Chermiti hauled Rangers level with a simple finish from Djeidi Gassama's 47th-minute cross.


Rangers' stirring comeback was complete five minutes later.


Raskin took possession 20 yards from goal and smashed a fine finish into the far corner before jumping into the stands to celebrate, in the process banging his head on one jubilant Rangers supporter.


Raskin stayed on despite the head bump, and played a key role in Rangers' next goal.


Miovski bundled home Raskin's cross for Rangers' fourth in the 58th minute.


Miller pulled one back from the spot in the 70th minute after Tavernier fouled Lissah.


Rangers sealed it though, Chermiti with a thunderous shot in the 74th, and Miovski tapping in the sixth in the 88th.
