Watch as Connor Goldson slams home for Aris as three ex-Rangers players feature

Former Rangers defender Connor Goldson smashed home a volley to keep Aris Limassol's Conference League hopes alive.

The centre-back, 32, scored after 31 minutes to level for the Cypriot club after they had been two goals down within just 14 minutes.

Roberto Pereyra opened the scoring for the visitors on nine minutes before Filipe Relvas made it 2-0 five minutes later.

However, Aris would rally and score twice in the first-half to claim a draw in the first leg of the Conference League third round qualifier first leg on Thursday.

Andronikos Kakoullis slotted home with 18 minutes on the clock.

Then, Goldson hammered home to level for Aris from a corner. An initial cross was flicked on to the back post, where Goldson swivelled to volley into the bottom corner.

After the stunning finish, Goldson wheeled away, where he would quickly be joined by Rangers winger Ross McCausland to celebrate the strike.

The Northern Ireland winger is on loan at Aris with the transfer to become permanent at the end of the season.

Leon Balogun also featured for Aris in the Euro qualifier, with three former Rangers first-team players involved in the Conference League clash.
