MELTING POINT

Curtis snatches a draw as Gers boss Martin feels heat

- Ronnie Esplin

TEENAGER Findlay Curtis rescued ragged Rangers with a late strike to come away from St Mirren with a draw that leaves Russell Martin feeling the heat as he still searches for his first Premiership win in charge.

The visitors started without a recognised centre-forward with midfielder Thelo Aasgaard leading the line and they found themselves behind in the 33rd minute when Saints striker Jonah Ayunga raced through to beat goalkeeper Jack Butland.

Under-fire Martin changed tactics and personnel in the second 45 and was rewarded as 18-year-old substitute Curtis drilled in a 78th-minute equaliser with his third goal this term.

But a point was all that could be mustered, leaving Martin - heavily criticised by many Gers fans - with just three wins in nine games as boss.
