Lawrence Shankland scored both goals on Wednesday as Rangers beat Falkirk 2-1 to secure back-to-back Scottish Premiership wins. Manager Derek McInnes had to watch from the stands as he served a touchline ban, but his former captain put Rangers ahead in the eighth minute. Falkirk then equalised with an own goal before Shankland scored his second late on.
