Rangers caretaker boss Graeme Murty admits he cannot believe a mistake made by young centre-back Ross McCrorie, but feels the talent will learn from the error.

Murty's men went down to a 2-0 defeat at home against Hamilton, the first time Hamilton have won at Ibrox for 90 years.




Young McCrorie handed Hamilton the lead on a plate after a poor backpass let in David Templeton, who made no mistake and put the visitors into the lead in the 47th minute.

Darren Lyon then secured all three points for Accies by adding a second nine minutes from time, in the process ending Murty's 100 per cent record as caretaker boss.
 


The Rangers boss bemoaned the error made by McCrorie, being unable to believe the decision the defender made, but insists that youngsters will always make mistakes.

He's a young player and young players make mistakes", Murty said on Rangers TV.

"We're not going to cast him asunder because he's made one mistake. He needs to learn from it.

"I can't believe he actually made that decision, but it's a decision we have to move on with; there was more than enough time in the game to go and get something from the game."

Rangers enjoyed 17 shots on goal compared to Hamilton's four, but still lost with a result which does serious damage to Murty's hopes of taking over permanently.
