Morris headed over from a corner early on, whilst another corner was cleared as far to Jack Sherratt who shot wide, whilst Marine went close with a long range effort.

Rangers ended the half on the front foot, and the goal finally came a minute before the break, McDonald taking aim from 25 yards and finding the bottom corner.

Karl Hawley was denied by the hosts keeper after the break, whilst at the other end Rangers couldn’t clear their lines but eventually hook the ball off the line.

However the hosts would equalise on 75 minutes, Morris pulling down his man inside the box and as last man giving his marching orders, Daniel Mitchley equalising from the spot.

Osebi Abadaki could’ve won it late on, but turned Robert Thompson-Brown’s cross, whilst McDonald tried his luck from a similar distance to his goal, but was wide of the target.
