Rangers scored twice in the dying minutes to defeat brave Hearts and reduce Celtic 's Scottish Premiership lead to five points.
Celtic's draw at Hibernian on Saturday had opened the door for Rangers to move closer to the league leaders. Cyriel Dessers thought he had levelled after helping on Connor Goldson's header but Shankland cleared off the line, with technology offering no reprieve for the hosts. And Shankland then set up Kenneth Vargas, who should have hit the target from the left side of the area.
Home forward Sam Lammers could not keep a close-range effort down and team-mate Nico Raskin was also off target as he picked up an injury in the act of shooting, a stretcher taking him off. For most of the 90 minutes at Ibrox, the roles were reversed. Rangers were careless in possession, indecisive in attack and frail in defence.
