RANGERS came close after 11 minutes when Ryan Marks driven free-kick from 25 yards was parried by goalkeeper Marc Robinson.

Loughgall tested opposing 'keeper Matt McGraw on 33 minutes when smart interchange between Dale Malone and Aaron Willis allowed the former to get a strike on target.

Glebe should have opened the scoring on 38 minutes when the alert Nigel Turner dispossessed Loughgall captain Steven Ferguson in midfield before racing through on goal but he ignored the option of passing inside to strike partner Tommy Elder in favour of going alone and saw his shot well saved by 'keeper Robinson.

The visitors did have the ball in the Loughgall goal following a sharp attack on the stroke of half-time however it was adjudged to be offside.

Turner evaded an initial offside appeal to break through the home defence, bearing down on goal he was denied by a fantastic save by Robinson that sat up nicely for Elder to nod home from close range albeit from an offside position.

Loughgall put in a much improved performance in the second half, and threatened to snatch the win after creating a few goal-scoring chances.

A quick break with two minutes remaining saw Doyle play an incisive pass in for Ferguson who couldn't control the pass and Malone following-up was quickly closed down.

One minute later Glebe were reduced to ten men when Owen Moody was shown a second yellow card for a late challenge.

Nonetheless Rangers pressed for a late winner and received their rewards in the fourth minute of injury time as a corner delivery fell kindly for McCart, 15 yards from goal, to hit a great shot into the corner of the net.
