Perfect moment for Rankin

Inverness Caledonian Thistle midfielder John Rankin was ecstatic after cracking home a superb winner in the 2-1 victory against Rangers.
Rankin's strike secured a first win in ten games for Caley Thistle, with the 23-year-old netting for only the third time since his summer arrival from Ross County.
After the win, Rankin beamed: "It is the best moment of my career so far and there is nothing to compete with that.
"To score in the last minute when we are not on the best of runs at the moment means that everyone will now get a lift.
"Going one down at home with the run we have been on was hard to take, but the players never let their heads go down and we stuck in and battled.
"With there being a full house in the stadium there was a great atmosphere and as soon as we got the first goal we thought if we kept going we would get another chance."
