Two penalties give Rangers friendly win over St Etienne

Penalties from Lawrence Shankland and Thelo Aasgaard earned Rangers a 2-1 friendly victory over St Etienne at Ibrox.

In what was manager Derek McInnes' home bow, Shankland tucked away an early spot-kick after a foul on Tochi Chukwuani.

There was a starting debut for goalkeeper Ivor Padur, who made a good save to deny Jakob Breum.

Youssef Chermiti hit the crossbar before the Ligue 2 side managed by Scotsman Ian Cathro levelled through Breum.

Rangers began in a 4-4-2 formation, with Mohamed Diomande tucking in on the right and Findlay Curtis wide on the left, with Cammy Devlin making his debut as a half-time replacement for the Scotland winger.

Aasgaard was introduced on the hour and the Norway international cracked in the hosts' second penalty on 82 minutes after Bojan Mivoski was brought down by goalkeeper Gautier Laesonneur.
