Rangers won the match 2–1, thanks to goals from Davie Cooper and Ian Durrant.[1] In the aftermath of Mo Johnston's dismissal, Tony Shepherd was shown a red card by referee David Syme, who thought he had been struck by Shepherd. The linesman on the bench side confirmed that in fact it was a coin thrown from the crowd that had hit him, and Shepherd's red card was immediately retracted, although the chaotic nature of the incident led to confused accounts in contemporary reports.
