Hamza Igamane and Vaclav Cerny saved the day for Rangers at Motherwell.
The Gers attacking duo came on at half-time with Kieran Dowell and Cyriel Dessers hooked as the home side led 2-0 at the break.
They had a very quick impact within five minutes with the Czech winger supplying the cross from which Igamane eventually pulled one back by finishing on the rebound.
Just 18 minutes later the scores were level and it was the Moroccan who found the net again, picking up a pass from Ridvan Yilmaz on the edge of the shot before working space to curl a side-footer into the far corner.
Igamane and Cerny were left on the bench as Philippe Clement continued his rotation policy on the advice of the club’s sports scientists.
He insisted he would be “stupid” not to listen to that advice but Kris Boyd has slaughtered Clement and claims he could get himself the sack.
The pair did contribute massively when coming on and improved the team’s attacking threat.
Pundits praise Igamane and Cerny Rangers impact
Cerny has been one of Rangers’ best players this season and Igamane has been brilliant in recent months since breaking in.
They have brought an attacking verve that was missing in the first half and was back almost as soon as they came onto the pitch.
Cillian Sheridan says the duo transformed the team instantaneously at Fir Park.
On the suggestion they saved the day, he told BBC Sportscene: “Yeah, definitely. Straight away you could see Cerny was more direct and stuff.
“Igamane aswell, they were able to create something from nothing. There was more of an urgency.
“In the first half there was a lot of crosses coming in from too deep. Just hopeful crosses into the box.
“Cerny came on, gets himself out wide, drives in, gets a good cross in.
“Igamane does brilliant (for the goal). He’s constantly on his toes and it’s a brilliant finish on his left foot. Not much backlift.
Cerny Rangers omission ‘baffling’
Mikey Devlin added: “I think this is the pattern that Rangers fans would’ve expected from the game.
“And I think Cerny and Igamane were pivotal to that.
“We see the quality, we know the impact Cerny has had on this Rangers team.
“To see his omission was a bit baffling, especially when we see the impact he can have.”
