Full points lifts Kilsyth Rangers up one place
This was a very welcome three points for Rangers at Renfrew which lifts them one place in the league table, giving them a fighting chance of maintaining their Super League status.

Duke had another very good save following a corner, tipping it over the bar to concede another.
