After 162 days on the sidelines, Neraysho Kasanwirjo finally made his return to action – turning out for Rangers B in Tuesday night's Glasgow Cup final against Celtic at Firhill.
The on-loan defender was joined by fellow first-team squad member Findlay Curtis in Steven Smith’s starting XI for the showpiece clash.
And while goalscoring isn’t typically part of the Dutchman’s game, it was Kasanwirjo who broke the deadlock after 33 minutes to put Rangers ahead.
The 23-year-old found himself in an advanced position and pounced on a loose ball, holding off Celtic captain Mitchell Robertson before slotting a composed finish beyond Hoops goalkeeper Marcus Gill.
Celtic, however, responded on the stroke of half-time through Rhys Dargie, who levelled the score at 1-1 following some excellent build-up play from Jude Bonnar.
Kasanwirjo’s evening ended at the break, with the versatile full-back withdrawn at half-time after completing his planned minutes on return.
