Arbroath snatch late draw with Ayr in Championship opener

Arbroath snatch late draw with Ayr in Championship opener

Arbroath were League One champions last season but life back in the second tier started inauspiciously as Jamie Murphy excellently curled a shot into the top corner from distance in the fifth minute.
There was a brief delay as flares were thrown on to the pitch inside the first quarter-of-an-hour, after which Arbroath pushed hard for an equaliser and went close through Gavin Reilly after half-time.
While Reilly missed a one-on-one chance, substitute Todorov made no mistake in the 89th minute, leaping above Shaun Want to head home Craig Watson's looping cross and guarantee a share of the spoils.

Danilo happy to step up for Rangers with key players absent

With Cyriel Dessers injured and Hamza Igamane returning from injury, the 26-year-old Brazilian striker, who signed from Feyenoord in 2023, is likely to start for Russell Martin's side against the League One outfit. Danilo took over from Dessers in the Champions League qualifier against Viktoria Plzen in the Czech Republic on Tuesday night when the Nigeria forward had to go off – the Gers lost 2-1 but went through to the play-off against Club Brugge 4-2 on aggregate – and wants to grasp the opportunity to make his mark. He said: 'Obviously, you work hard for any difficult moments that happen, like right now with Dessers and Hamza away. 'So, I am ready to step up and show my qualities. 'I think everybody saw how hard I work, and I also want to help the team. 'So, obviously I focus on me and this is a great opportunity for me to be ready and show my qualities.' Danilo insists he is in a more confident mood after getting a full pre-season under his belt. He said: 'Last season was a hard process for me and I had to build up confidence. 'Obviously, a new manager coming into the building, you want to show your qualities, your fitness levels. 'So, this was great for me to be ready for it. Also confidence-wise, it's been brilliant as well. 'That's what I told the last press conference, I said my head is in a great place. So, right now it's just about momentum and hopefully the goals come as well.'
