Rangers’ boss Ian Holloway confessed that it was like getting out of jail when Paul Furlong equalised at the death to secure a draw for the R’s at Luton on Saturday.
It was Furlong’s sixth goal of the season and followed an earlier headed effort that was ruled out for offside.
Holloway said "I would have preferred an earlier goal and a bit better football from us.
"We weren’t really on song for a lot of the game, but if you can get a point when you play like that it’s the sign of a half-decent team.
"Their young goalkeeper did very well and it was looking as though it was not our day. Perhaps the substitutions made a slight difference and it was a fantastic goal, which gave us the draw. Luton did really well, they got themselves into a winning position and we’re delighted that we managed to claw away two points they thought they had.
"There were two good teams out there and not many teams will come here and win. I’m pleased that we kept going to the very end, although some of our football wasn’t as sweet as it can be."
The game saw the return of Tony Thorpe to his former club. Luton were eager to abuse and hassle their former striker. It was a sweet moment for Thorpe. Luton are in receivership and in August, after giving interviews saying how much he loved Luton, he jumped ship to join Rangers. The home fans flourished £10 notes at him when he went on after 65 minutes and subjected him to a continual barrage of abuse. But it was Thorpe who had the last laugh as he excellently set up Furlong for the equaliser
