There were other forward positives too as Colak and Roofe made their injury returns. Sakala is trying to use pace and creativity to find a way to his fellow forwards. He picks the ball up just outside the box and beats a tracking back Colak to get a shot off. There's a lot of nice passes in the middle of the park but the midfielder then blooters a diagonal out for a throw-in. He gets behind the defence and in a flash is on to Birighitti. Morelos is on for Colak as a response is sought from the Ibrox side He takes his chance to try and have a pop at goal on a big day for teenager MacLeod. Goldson was amongst it again in the first half of their clash with United when a ball in from the right appeared to brush his hand.
