Resurgent Rangers~defeat Tykes

Agyemang latched on to Dexter Blackstock’s cross to head home from six yards early on, before Vine netted from close range in the closing stages of the half to put the hosts into a commanding position at the break.

And despite the best efforts of a resilient Tykes after the restart, Rangers, who have spent in the region of £5million in the transfer window, held on for victory to put some breathing space between themselves and those in the drop zone.

Resurgent Rangers went into the clash looking for their third win in four league games while Barnsley, in contrast, had not tasted victory in their last seven.
