After conceding an early goal, the Town get back on level terms on sixteen minutes thanks to a Mark Walters penalty - but things look bleak just four minutes later, when Fraser Digby is adjudged to have handled the ball outside his area, and is shown a red card. Rangers legend Alan McDonald goes in goal with 70 minutes left on the clock - but somehow manages to keep his former side at bay, and Iffy Onuora nets a goal on his debut, the Town holding on for an unlikely and much needed victory.
