Max Aarons’ 94th‑Minute Winner Finally Delivers Rangers’ First League Victory

Supporters kept calling for Russell Martin to go despite the stoppage‑time lift.

Overview

  • The on‑loan Bournemouth full‑back struck at Livingston to end a five‑match league drought and move Rangers up to eighth in the Premiership.
  • Aarons described the moment as a dream first goal for the club after a difficult start that included a red card in the Club Brugge play‑off defeat.
  • Former striker Billy Dodds credited Russell Martin’s in‑game switch to a back three as decisive in creating the late winner.
  • Reports indicated the result eased pressure on Martin, though chants for his sacking resumed immediately after the goal.
  • Rangers missed a first‑half penalty and had a goal ruled out before the late breakthrough, with a Europa League trip to Austria next on the schedule.
