Rangers’ reserves won their third game running this season with a 2-1 victory at Crawley Town, this was our first game for nearly a month thanks to the ridiculous combination structure we have these days. 

It was a young reserves side that travelled to face Crawley Town on Tuesday night, in fact five of the starting eleven all played during the youth teams 1-0 defeat at Bristol Rovers this weekend. We lined up with Jake Cole in goal, Ugo Ukah at right back, Ryan Johnson and Ian Evatt were at centre half with Dominic Shimmin playing left back.

The midfield four included two players who you would normally see at centre back and left back in Jonathan Munday and Andrew Howell, They were alongside Scott Donnelly and Stefan Bailey. Upfront Giant Ray Jones partnered Shabazz Baidoo. 

It's been a busy few days for Baidoo, he made his first appearance this season at under 18 level on Saturday, came on against Crystal Palace for the first team on Monday night and on Tuesday started this reserves match. Shabba got the ball rolling in this one within the first ten minutes to give Rangers the lead, that was his third goal this season at this level.

Crawley levelled things up through Stuart Douglas ten minutes before the break before youth team regular Jonathan Munday struck in the dying minutes to give Rangers all three points.
