Isaac Saviour rescued the day for the NPFL Champions, when he fired the Flying Antelopes in front, from close range in the 75th minute, four minutes after Chidozie Okorie failed to score from the spot.
With the 3 points on offer in their kitty, Rangers hopped 7 places, and are now 7th in the NPFL table, with seven (7) points; five (5) massive points adrift of table topping Remo Stars of Ikenne, after just four rounds of fixtures.
