Rangersesque. Or a timely reminder that, however wildly the oldco/newco debate may still rage in certain quarters, some things never change. When these two teams meet, there is invariably only one winner. Cowdenbeath chairman Donald Findlay weighed into the fray at the weekend with his assertion that Rangers are a ‘new entity’. On Tuesday night at Central Park, his boys found their opponents just as difficult to beat as any Rangers side in history; their wait for a first victory over the Ibrox outfit since April 1930 goes on. An early strike by Nicky Law, a Kyle Miller own goal and a late finish by sub David Templeton were enough to take Ally McCoist’s team another three points closer to the Championship summit, as they navigated another potentially tricky encounter on a cold night in Cowdenbeath, where men are men — and even the bravest are happy to wear crash helmets.

The tyre marks on the infield provided a visible reminder, if the well-worn track and the safety fences weren’t enough, of the fact that @placeholder is arguably much more famous for stock-car racing than football; this might have been one of the few nights when the beautiful game attracted as many as the meat-and-potatoes motorsport action.
