Cerny’s stunner helps Rangers see off Motherwell

Rangers made a winning start at their temporary Hampden Park home as they beat Motherwell 2-1 in the Scottish Premiership.

Cyriel Dessers, whose late goal gave Rangers a 1-1 draw against Champions League qualifying opponents Dynamo Kyiv on Tuesday, opened the scoring after 13 minutes in the first of four games at Hampden due to delayed refurbishment at their home of Ibrox in Glasgow.

But Motherwell, for whom Australia striker Apostolos Stamatelopoulos was a starter, were soon level following an own goal from Rangers’ debutant defender Robin Propper.

Vaclav Cerny then marked his first start since joining Rangers from Bundesliga club Wolfsburg with a stylish goal midway through the first half.

The second ******* proved a tense affair, but Philippe Clement’s team did enough to keep Motherwell at bay ahead of the return game with Dynamo.

Ross County grabbed a share of the points against Dundee ******* at Dingwall thanks to Ronan Hale’s stoppage-time equaliser.

David Babunski had put ******* ahead after he linked impressively with fellow new arrival Will Ferry, but Hale stepped up five minutes into stoppage time to secure a draw after County missed a golden first-half opportunity when Eamonn Brophy’s penalty was saved by Jack Walton.

Dundee moved top of the table by capitalising on a calamitous first-half display from Hearts to run out 3-1 winners at Dens Park.

The Dark Blues found themselves 3-0 up at the break when an error from goalkeeper Zander Clark paved the way for Scott Tiffoney to open the scoring before Gerald Taylor’s own goal was quickly followed by a Luke McCowan penalty in stoppage time at the end of the half.

Hearts, featuring *********** internationals Cameron Devlin and Kye Rowles, played with more purpose after the interval and pulled one back through Frankie Kent, but the hosts held firm to climb above Rangers on goal difference.
