ian1964 10,669 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 STEVEN LENNON'S second goal in as many reserve games wasn't enough to secure all three points at Station Park. Steven LennonRangers returned to Forfar's ground for the second time in a week - this time to face Dundee Utd - but came away with another draw against the Tannadice side. Tommy Wilson felt his side had done enough to win the game but Garry Kenneth's 75th minute equaliser earned a point as he cancelled out Lennon's 37th minute opener. United had started the brighter before the visiting side took the lead against the run of play. Tommy WilsonAaron Niguez, returning to the ground where he scored his first senior goal for the club six days earlier, skipped past two United challenges to float a perfect cross to Lennon at the back post. The recently returned striker stooped to meet the cross and head past Michael McGovern in the United goal. Aaron was then withdrawn in the first minute of the second half as a precaution when he felt a tightness in his groin - with Kal Naismith replacing the Spanish winger. It was a disappointment for Wilson to lose the rising star but he was further frustrated by the decision that led to United's equaliser. The home side were awarded a free kick near the corner flag - a decision which incensed Wilson and Jimmy Sinclair - and when Paul Dixon swung in the set piece, Kenneth rose highest to head past Graeme Smith. To compound matters Lennon was then denied a penalty in the dying stages when he went down under the challenge of keeper McGovern only to see the referee wave away his appeals for a spot kick. Rangers: G.Smith; Lowing, Little, Dailly, Kinniburgh; Edu, Hemdani; Campbell, S. Naismith, Aaron (K. Naismith 46); Lennon. Subs: Gallacher, Forbes, Cole. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilledbear 16 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Lennon couldn't make an impact with Thistle, I wonder why we are persevering with him? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Cole 0 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Lennon couldn't make an impact with Thistle, I wonder why we are persevering with him? Pity because I thought he had a chance. Looked comfortable when he was given a game up at Pittodrie on the last day of the 06/07 season. He must be one of the older members of the youth squad now as well? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
