Third Division newcomers Sevco salvaged a controversial point away to Berwick Rangers.
Only a bizarre honest mistake from referee Mike Tumilty in injury time prevented second bottom Berwick from winning their first match of the season.
“I’m angry, I’m disappointed, I’m embarrassed,” Sevco boss Ally McCoist said after the final whistle. “That is arguably the worst performance that I’ve seen in a long long time from any Rangers team.
“There was a careless attitude, careless passing, not enough people wanting the ball, not enough people demanding the ball or going into dangerous areas- it was totally lacklustre performance from start to finish.
“Regardless of the result we must have better players, surely to put on a better performance. Our fans deserve better and that was miles short today.”
Despite being outplayed for large parts of the first half Sevco took the lead in jury time through Andy Little.
Berwick refused to buckle after the break with substitute Fraser McLaren tucking away the equaliser just five minutes after coming on.
In the 90th minute Neil Alexander pulled off a spectacular save from a 25 yard drive from McLaren with Tumilty blowing for a mystery infringement just before Townsley headed the corner into the net.
Ally McCoist gave a debut to former Barcelona target Anestis Argyriou alongside Carlos Bocanegra with the Ibrox boss able to select from a combination of seasoned internationalists as well as the best prospects from the conveyor belt of talent from Murray Park.
Berwick settled quickly as they attempted to bounce back from last week’s 3-2 defeat away to Annan Athletic.
Manager Ian Little’s plan looked to be working well but the homeside were undone in first half injury time but McLaren’s goal gave Berwick their second point of the season.
Next Sunday Sevco host Third Division pacesetters Elgin at Ibrox.

I don’t really care about Sevco.
Rangers are dead, Sevco replaced them.
I care about Celtic.
Quite right Joe . . .
Sevco are dying – Celtic are flying. . .and Scottish football is actually getting better than it has ever been; much to the annoyance of the doom-mongers.
Looks like their brothers from the lodge will need to start dishing out dodgy decisions earlier in the season than usual for them
I’m angry, disappointed, and embarrassed about the referee.
Sevco obviously bought the goodwill of the refs from Rangers. At Ibrox it is actually classed as a asset.
He needs better players? What you mean the 10x average wage bill of the rest of the league doesn’t afford you better players? You mean that having SPL players doesn’t afford better players than those in SFL3? Perhaps we really should be looking at bringing SFL3 players into the SPL if they’re that good!
Rank Bad decision by the Ref. But then again he also earned his demotion to the 3rd division! Next move for him, Junior Football! !!!!! Next move for Sevco!????????????????
Come on sally you have only played 4 0r 5 games in the history of your club,give it time im sure it will all turn out fine.Mike tumballtwat,is he related?
I’m angry, disapointed and embarassed that we actually care about this lot, Celtic theonly team I care about we havea big game on Wed to concern us, not this team of nobodies. GBNL Hai Hail

”I am angry, disappointed and embarrassed . . .and useless, and bigoted, and clueless, and overrated, and worried about being found out . . .to be honest!
I mean . . .Berwick Rangers . . .having the audacity

Alistair my lad this is division three where you only get wins by winning not by bias. Reality bites and it will bite you on the arse, record points margin for league win, clean sweep for cups, ffs get real or re-employ your refs because league life is going to get very tough in these long winter months, good luck in your diddy league and enjoy watching us in Europe, one day in the future we may meet again.
again???? we have never played this new team buddy!!!
angry, disappointed and embarrassed…. now he knows how we feel! fat twat! HH!
