It’s been a frustrating day for Wayne Rooney, the Manchester United striker having plenty of chances to give his team the lead at Ibrox. Ultimately, he needed help from Rangers to break through, scoring from the penalty spot in the 87th minute after Steven Naismith fouled Fabio da Silva. While the Scottish champions were minutes away from another 0-0 against their English counterparts, now Manchester United looks set for victory.
