      Joey Barton SENT OFF by Bobby Madden as ex-Celtic star Scott Brown reunion ends with ex-SPFL ace’s 99th minute equaliser

      by

      JOEY BARTON was SENT OFF in the dying minutes as he renewed acquaintances with former Old Firm rival Scott Brown.The Bristol Rovers boss was given his marching orders by Scottish referee Bobby Madden in the 89th minute of their hotly-contested League One tussle with Brown’s Fleetwood Town.

      But it only gave the one-time Rangers star a view from the stands as former St Johnstone star Shaun Rooney grabbed an equaliser for Brown’s Fleetwood in the 99TH MINUTE as these two sides fought out a 2-2 draw.
      The ex Celtic man and one-time Rangers midfielder famously locked horns in a 5-1 Celtic win at Parkhead.
      Barton – an ex-Fleetwood manager himself – and Brown had both shrugged off their shared backstory pre-match as they insisted that episode was firmly in the past.
      But there was no shortage of drama as these two mid-table sides fought out a four-goal thriller.
      Ex St Johnstone man Rooney – a double cup winner during his time in Perth – fired the visitors into the lead in the 23rd minute before Josh Coburn levelled things for a Rovers side who featured another ex-Hoops man in Scott Sinclair.
      Aaron Collins then gave the home side the lead 10 minutes before the end of regulation.
      But there was plenty more drama in store as Barton was sent to the stands in the 89th minute by Madden.
      He overdid it when complaining about a challenge by Fleetwood midfielder Josh Vela on Rovers sub Luca Hoole – and the Scot gave him his marching orders.
      Most read in Sport
      The home fans didn’t like it, with some aiming chants of ‘cheat’ at the Scottish whistler.
      But it was Brown and assistant boss Steven Whittaker who got the last laugh when Rooney bagged his second of the game and Fleetwood’s equaliser in the NINTH minute of stoppage time.
      He nodded in a cross from Danny Andrew at the death to nick a share of the spoils for Broony’s men.
      Barton didn’t do press afterwards, with assistant Andy Mangan saying: “That second half performance was our best display of the season. 
      “The lads are gutted not to win, and the draw feels like a defeat, but there were so many positives to take from today.”

      Aston Villa paid millions of pounds in compensation to land Steven Gerrard from Rangers – then axed him 11 months later

      THE true cost of Steven Gerrard’s ill-fated spell in charge of Aston Villa has been revealed.The Liverpool legend left Rangers last November to take charge of the Premier League club.

      The 42-year-old former England international had led the Gers to their first Scottish Premiership title in ten years and arrived at Villa Park to much fanfare.
      However, that optimism soon disappeared and his tenure lasted less than a year.
      Villa sacked Gerrard last month after a defeat at Fulham, which saw his own fans calling for him to be axed, proved to be his final game at the helm.
      He had only guided the club to two wins from their opening 12 top-flight games and left with a record of eight wins and eight draws from his 31 matches at the club.
      READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWS
      Now the cost of hiring Gerrard has been revealed after Rangers released their annual financial report – which included an all-time high turnover of £86.8m for the Scottish giants.
      But it also showed that Villa paid the Gers £4.25m in compensation for Stevie G for him to replace Dean Smith.
      They also had to fork out a further £6.1m for his backroom team to be able to follow him south of the border.
      His staff of Gary McAllister, Neil Critchley, Tom Culshaw, Jordan Milsom and Scott Mason also all left Villa after a win rate of just 25.8 per cent.

      The Rangers report said: “We also charged £6.1m in non-recurring costs, which includes settlement of litigations and contract termination costs.”
      That means that Villa ultimately ended up paying £326,000 per win under Gerrard, who has now been succeeded by Unai Emery. More

      Rangers 2 Hearts 0 (AET) Ryan Jack and Scott Wright win Scottish Cup as Light Blues end emotional week with silverware

      by

      RANGERS ensured an emotional week ended on a high as they tasted Scottish Cup glory for the first time since 2009 after a 2-0 win over Hearts.Ryan Jack and Scott Wright were the goalscoring heroes as Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men recovered from Thursday’s Europa League heartbreak in impressive fashion, securing silverware despite being taken to extra time for the second time in just three days.

      There was some shock team news before the game, as Amad Diallo was given a start for Rangers, with several Europa League final stars on the bench after that gruelling clash with Eintracht Frankfurt. Aaron Ramsey and Kemar Roofe were left on the bench.
      On the other side, the Light Blues came up against a man who will be a team mate next season in John Souttar, who found himself in the rather unique position of making his farewell Hearts appearance against the club that will employ him in a matter of days.
      It was a frantic start at the national stadium and Willie Collum was reaching for his yellow card inside the opening three minutes.
      Peter Haring went flying into a heavy tackle on Calvin Bassey, with his studs catching the Rangers defender on the ankle.

      It was a painful one for Bassey and a crunching challenge, but yellow was probably just about correct, although there probably couldn’t have been many complaints if the ref had opted for a harsher punishment.
      The first big opening of the game went the way of Hearts and it was a huge chance. Robbie Neilson set his side up to press high from the off, and it almost paid dividends.
      Ellis Simms challenged Leon Balogun for a long, high ball, winning the dual and nodding the ball on to Nathaniel Atkinson.
      The Australian then fed Liam Boyce, who sent the ball across goal where Simms was charging in towards the goal.

      The Hearts man got there, but perhaps went with the wrong foot, stretching for the ball with his right instead of his lift. He got contact on it, but the ball went away from goal, struck the post and trickled to safety.

      Rangers grew into the game, and a few half chances came in quick succession.
      A superb Connor Goldson cross field pass set Diallo away and clear in behind Alex Cochrane, but his ball across the box was a tame one and Hearts fired the ball to safety with Joe Aribo and Ryan Kent waiting.
      Moments later, Steven Davis miscued an effort on the edge of the box, although the ball fortunately found its way to Scott Arfield.
      But the former Canada man couldn’t make a breakthrough as his powerful effort was well blocked by Souttar.
      Simms was causing the Rangers defence a fair bit of havoc, and it was his presence and hold up play that led to an opportunity for Barrie McKay.
      But he blazed the ball over from just outside the area.
      Ryan Kent, perhaps still reeling from his dramatic late, saved attempt in the Europa League final, was having a quiet afternoon but he burst into life on 27 minutes by fashioning a chance for himself.
      The winger took possession form Joe Aribo, and despite close attention from a couple of Hearts defenders, he shuffled the ball from his right foot to left. Unfortunately for Kent, there wasn’t a finish to match the footwork as his low shot skidded well wide of Craig Gordon’s goal.
      Calvin Bassey, Rangers’ stand-out performer in Seville on Wednesday, was proving a threat here down the left hand side and he created two big chances in the closing stages of the first half.
      The first saw the Nigeria international, once again at left back after Borna Barisic’s injury in midweek, sent in a tremendous ball to the edge of the six yard box where Aribo, once again performing as a false nine, got on the end of it.
      But his header lacked any real power or direction, and the ball flashed wide of Gordon’s far post.
      Three minutes before the half time whistle, Bassey fired in another tremendous cross, this time to the back stick. Diallo was the man looking to make the most of this one, but he mistimed his jump, got underneath the ball and sent it harmlessly over the bar. That was it for an entertaining, albeit goalless, first 45 at Hampden.
      It was a fairly quiet start to the second half, at least from a chance perspective as both sides struggled to break down stubborn defences.
      Gordon hadn’t had anything of note to do until he was called into action 12 minutes into the second period.
      A lovely ball over the top from Diallo from just inside his own half sent Kent clear of the Jambos backline and the pacey former Liverpool man was bearing down on goal.
      But showing the excellent form that has earned him player of the year awards, Hearts’ 39-year old ‘keeper read the situation every inch of the way and was there to smother the danger before Kent could get an effort away.

      Diallo picked up the game’s second caution for a crunching challenge on Boyce, and his heart might have been in his mouth just a couple of minutes after when he caught McKay a little late.
      There wasn’t much in it, and that’s how Willie Collum saw it, and there was no need for further punishment.
      It did ultimately lead to the end of Diallo’s afternoon, and he was replaced on 63 minutes with Scott Wright being send on in his place.
      Hearts were struggling to create anything of note, but they showed their intentions when Nathaniel Atkinson fizzed in a fantastic curling ball from the right, but it was just too heavy for Simms to get anything on it.
      Wright injected a bit of life into the Rangers performance and they enjoyed another good, attacking spell as the final 15 minutes approached.
      The sub showed lovely skill to send Aribo away, but his cross across the face of goal never looked like finding anyone, with Scott Arfield the better option near the penalty spot.
      Bassey, having another superb game, then decided to take matters into his own hands. The big defender stepped up and found himself on the edge of the penalty area.
      He showed great feet and skill to skip past a couple of Hearts defenders, and his low effort was pushed away from goal by Gordon, and eventually gathered.
      Rangers were in control, and should really have made it 1-0 with six minutes left to play with their best chance of the game.
      James Tavernier swung in a fantastic corner that was met powerfully by Leon Balogun at the near post. In terms of contact, the centre back couldn’t have met it any better. But he couldn’t keep the header down and it skimmed across the top of the net.
      Craig Gordon was a hero for Hearts in the semi final against rivals Hibs, pulling off a number of superb saves, most notably a stunning stop from Ryan Porteous.
      He was at it again here as the final entered stoppage time. Joe Aribo shuffled the ball into a shooting position, and despite a shirt pull from Atkinson, he managed to get a powerful, low driven effort towards goal.
      The Scotland number one somehow stuck out a leg and almost beyond belief, diverted the ball just past the post and out for a corner.

      It was as truly stunning save, and replays showed just how good it was. An absolutely incredible stop from the goalie.
      Giovanni van Bronckhorst was calling for a penalty – there was a clear shirt pull on Aribo just before he got his attempt away, but the advantage had already been played.
      The Rangers pressure was relentless until the very end, and there was still time for another chance. It was from a corner again, and it was Scott Wright this time who did brilliantly to flick the ball towards goal with his head.
      This time, the crossbar denied the Light Blues and that was that. Once again, Rangers were off to extra time.
      The Ibrox men were showing no sign of slowing down and another fantastic chance passed them by in the opening couple of minutes.
      It was Bassey again with another fantastic cross, and in similar fashion to Diallo’s first chance effort, Aribo got underneath and sent the ball high and over the bar when the net should really have been bursting.
      But Rangers didn’t have to wait too long to finally make their deserved breakthrough and in absolutely sensational fashion.
      Ryan Jack, sent on towards the end of normal time, was the somewhat unlikely hero and it was an absolute wonder strike on 94 minutes.

      A corner was cleared to the edge of the area where the midfielder was waiting to pick up the scraps, and he had enough time to take a touch to set himself. He did just that before unleashing an absolute piledriver of an effort that thundered past Gordon and into the net via the underside of the bar.
      A special strike, and an outpouring of relief and celebration for the Rangers fans packed into the national stadium after an emotional week.
      After that, it was one of those cases of the floodgates threatening to open. Hearts had been toiling since mid-way through the second half, and Rangers, despite heading into extra time for the second time in three days, looked as fresh as ever.
      The Light Blues were repeatedly carving the Jambos open, and it was 2-0 just three minutes after Jack’s opener.

      The Hearts defence was nowhere to be seen whatsoever as Ryan Kent thundered through the middle. He then laid the ball off for the impressive Wright, who should great feet and composure to drill a low effort away from Gordon and into the bottom corner.
      Hearts looked dead on their feet, and it was Rangers who were threatening to add a bit of gloss to the scoreline.
      They cut open the defence once again as the first period of extra time drew to its conclusion, although Kent this time sent an effort high and wide of the goal.
      Fashion Sakala was sent on for the closing stages as Rangers looked to make the most of the joy they were getting on the break.
      He got clean through as the Light B lues looked for a third, but the popular Zambian couldn’t get anything behind his effort and it trickled into Gordon’s arms.
      Allan McGregor’s future has been the subject of much discussion this season, and it looks like the 40-year old’s decision has been made.
      With cup goalie Jon McLaughlin in sticks, Giovanni van Bronckhorst sent McGregor on for the final minute in what was clearly his farewell moment.
      McGregor, who began his Ibrox career at the end of the last century, came on a standing ovation form both his team mates and supporters in another emotional moment.
