Shankland double steers Rangers to back-to-back wins

Lawrence Shankland scored twice to lead Rangers to a 2-1 win over Falkirk, securing back-to-back Scottish Premiership victories after a difficult start to the season for the Ibrox side. The captain's decisive performance included a first goal off his weaker left foot and a composed second finish, with Falkirk boss John McGlynn noting Shankland's impact was the difference. Rangers manager Derek McInnes praised the striker's calmness and quality, while Shankland now has three goals in four league games. Midfielder Nicolas Raskin returned to action amid transfer speculation, with Rangers rejecting a loan bid from Besiktas. The club also accepted a £1m loan offer for Thelo Aasgaard, and McInnes expressed frustration over the transfer window's disruption.
