Rangers boss hails Jon Daly’s ‘amazing’ scoring run

Rangers boss Ally McCoist has hailed striker Jon Daly after the Irishman grabbed another goal to continue his remarkable scoring run.

The former Dundee United captain struck his 17th goal of the season after just 100 seconds at Gayfield on Monday as the Ibrox men eased to a 3-0 League One win over Arbroath.

It was the seventh match in a row that Daly has found the net and McCoist says it is an achievement to be proud of, even if Daly is coming up against third-tier defences.

He said: “It’s an amazing achievement. It doesn’t matter the league or the opposition, because that record is fantastic.

“We are playing sides who make it very, very difficult for you.

“That Arbroath team got a draw at Celtic Park and only lost the replay 1-0, (and) played really well for 75 minutes at Ibrox this year. So these are tough places to come, no matter what people think.

“For Jon to continue that scoring rate, scoring in consecutive games, is a terrific achievement.

“I don’t think I had a run like that. I did get one or two more than him, right enough, but I can’t remember scoring in seven straight games.”
