Killie 2 Rangers 2

Two goals in the last 5 mins salvaged a point for Killie & ended any chance of Rangers catching Celtic in this years SPL championship!

A last-minute penalty allowed Kilmarnock to claim a 2-2 draw against Rangers.

The Ibrox side looked on course to pick up their seventh SPL win since Alex McLeish took over in December.

But Kris Boyd pulled Killie back into the game five minutes from time and Tommy Johnson denied Rangers the win from the spot in the last minute of the game.

The opener for Rangers came courtesy of a Peter Lovenkrands delivery that was met by Ronald de Boer and his shot from just inside the area deflected off Freddie Dindeleux into the back of the net shortly after the half hour mark.

Rangers could have put the game beyond Killie after 70 minutes when Lovenkrands finished off a great run by hooking a cross to Arveladze at the far post - only for the striker to bullet the header wide of the upright.

Then Fernando Ricksen played the ball through to Stephen Hughes and the Rangers starlet unleashed from 20 yards - but he was denied by Marshall.

Then came the Killie comeback.

First Kris Boyd gave the home side hope when he fired home.

Bobby Williamson reflects on Killie's 2-2 comeback draw with Rangers at Rugby Park.......

"Tommy Johnson elected himself penalty-taker about three games ago and I am not one to take them off a player who is confident. 'I'm not sure how many he has scored from the spot but I'm glad he stuck it away." "Rangers were by far the better side but you throw on two strikers in Craig Dargo and Kris Boyd and see what happens.' Penalty hero Johnson said: 'I don't know if I'll get calls from Celtic players after this - but it was only significant to me because it was for Kilmarnock. 'I didn't realise it was Kilmarnock's first penalty of the season when it was awarded but when you are on the spot all you think is: "Don't miss".
