Rangers and Celtic B teams net NINETEEN goals between them in Lowland League routs

Rangers and Celtic B teams scored for fun in the Lowland League this afternoon - as they racked up NINETEEN Goals between them.

While last season's runners-up East Kilbride earned their first win of the campaign with a narrow 1-0 win at home to Bo'ness United, Rangers B - who edged out EK 2-1 last weekend and named first team stars Nikola Katic and Jake Hastie in a midweek SPFL Trust Trophy win over Dumbarton - hammered Gretna 9-1.

Tony Weston and Christopher McKee both hit hat-tricks, while a double from Robbie Fraser and an effort from Kane Ritchie-Hosler saw the Ibrox kids take the win.

And Celtic B went one better by vanquishing Vale of Leithen 10-0 to inflict a seventh straight defeat on the fifth tier's bottom side.

Owen Moffat scored a whopping five goals and Joey Dawson grabbed two, while Mackenzie Carse, Bonsun Lawal and Rocco Vata were also on target.

It's some frightening scorelines for their opponents in the Lowland League to see on a Saturday evening.

But fortunately for the title contenders, Rangers and Celtic B sides are not able to win the trophy or be promoted, with this year's participation in the fifth tier a 'one-season only' deal.

Bonnyrigg Rose and Civil Service Strollers currently lead the way on 16 points, with Rangers B just a point behind in third. Celtic B are currently sixth, with East Kilbride up to 13th following their victory today.
