Kilmarnock hero Pascali elated after Rangers win

Manuel Pascali was overjoyed after helping Kilmarnock to their first home win over Rangers in 17 years yesterday.

The Italian scored the only goal to guide Killie to a famous victory over the reigning champions who had their lead at the top of the table cut to just four points following Celtic’s 5-0 drubbing of St Mirren on Saturday.

Pascali said it was a joyous occasion for Kilmarnock just two weeks after they were beaten 6-3 by Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

"There are players lucky enough to win trophies and things like that. Today I just want to be able to stop time because this is amazing. It's unbelievable,” Pascali said.

"It's been 17 years since the last time we beat Rangers here. I was thinking during the week 'F****** hell, we need to win'.

"I've played them 15 or 20 times and every time we lose. One day I knew we would win.

"I don't want to be too romantic about it all but this is one of the best days of my life.

"We lost 6-3 against Inverness and that's one of the worst results I've experienced here. In the space of two weeks you've had the best and the worst.

"I'm a lucky man because now everyone will remember me for this performance and not the shambles in the Inverness game."
