Rangers FC produced a devastating comeback to defeat Falkirk FC 6–3 in a remarkable nine-goal Scottish Premier League clash on matchday 33, overturning a 2–0 deficit with a flurry of second-half strikes.
Falkirk made a dream start. On 6 minutes, Falkirk went ahead when Ben Broggio finished from close range after a clever assist by Calvin Miller. The hosts doubled their advantage in the 26th minute, as Finn Yeats struck to make it 2–0, putting Rangers under real pressure.
Rangers, however, found a lifeline before the break. Tochi Chukwuani pulled one back in the 42nd minute, reducing the arrears to 2–1 and shifting the momentum going into half-time.
The visitors exploded out of the blocks after the restart. Just two minutes into the second half, Youssef Chermiti levelled the game at 2–2, finishing a move set up by Djeidi Gassama. Five minutes later, Nicolas Raskin completed the turnaround with Rangers’ third, assisted by Thelo Aasgaard, and by the 58th minute the score had ballooned to 4–2 when Bojan Miovski struck, teed up by Raskin.
Falkirk briefly revived hope on 70 minutes when Miller converted from the penalty spot to bring it back to 4–3. But Rangers swiftly reasserted control. Chermiti netted his second of the afternoon in the 74th minute to restore a two-goal cushion, before Miovski also completed his brace in the 88th minute after good work from Oliver Antman, sealing a 6–3 away victory.
The match featured a string of yellow cards for both sides and multiple substitutions, including the introduction of Miovski at half-time, which proved decisive. No additional detailed statistics beyond goals, bookings and substitutions were available at the time of writing.
The result keeps Rangers firmly in the hunt near the top of the Premier League, while Falkirk are left ruing a squandered early lead in a chaotic contest.
