Rangers net six against Falkirk, closing in on leaders Hearts by just one point.

Under the guidance of Danny Rohl, Rangers found themselves trailing early due to goals from Ben Broggio and Finn Yeats, resulting in a dismal first-half showing.

However, Tochi Chukwuani reignited Rangers’ hopes with a contentious goal just before half-time.

Three goals within 11 minutes early in the second half dramatically shifted the momentum in Rangers’ favour.

Youssef Chermiti levelled the scores, followed by Nicolas Raskin putting Rangers ahead before Bojan Miovski netted the visitors’ fourth.

Though Calvin Miller converted a penalty for Falkirk, it didn’t deter Rangers, as Chermiti and Miovski each scored again to secure the victory.

With victories for Hearts and Celtic on Saturday, Rangers needed to keep up with their title rivals.

They responded emphatically, now just one point behind leaders Hearts and two points ahead of third-placed Celtic as the title race heats up.

Rangers are vying for their first title since 2021, while Hearts are determined to dethrone champions Celtic, hoping to claim their first Scottish crown since 1960.

The vibrant victory for Rangers was a stark contrast to their previous trip to Falkirk in October.

That 1-1 draw marked the end of Russell Martin’s troubled tenure, where he required a police escort to shield him from frustrated fans.

Rohl has breathed new life into Rangers, although that impact was hard to see when Falkirk struck first within just six minutes.

Miller delivered a low cross aimed at Broggio, who slipped past Rangers’ lacklustre defence to score from close range.

Falkirk extended their advantage in the 26th minute when Yeats delivered a powerful strike from the edge of the box, beating Jack Butland.

Chukwuani pulled one back in an unusual manner in the 42nd minute.

After Falkirk momentarily halted play, believing a cross had gone out of play, Chukwuani pounced on the rebound from the post to score from five yards.

The VAR reviewed the situation, but Chukwuani remained able to celebrate as the replays showed no conclusive evidence to overturn the goal.

Chermiti brought Rangers level shortly after the restart, finishing simply from a cross by Djeidi Gassama in the 47th minute.

The comeback for Rangers was firmly underway just five minutes later.

Raskin gathered the ball 20 yards from goal and struck a superb shot into the far corner, then celebrated by jumping into the stands, inadvertently clashing heads with an enthusiastic Rangers supporter.

Undeterred, Raskin played an instrumental role in Rangers’ impressive spell that resulted in their fourth goal in the 58th minute.

Miovski bundled home Raskin’s accurate cross from close range.

Miller reduced the deficit with a penalty in the 70th minute after James Tavernier fouled Filip Lissah.

However, Chermiti alleviated any late nerves for Rangers with a powerful shot from the edge of the area four minutes later, followed by Miovski tapping in the sixth in the 88th minute.
