What Newcastle United's Garang Kuol did after scoring against Rangers

Garang Kuol opened his Heart of Midlothian account at Ibrox last night – after more than two months out of the team.

Kuol – who went to last year's World Cup in Qatar with Australia – netted a dramatic late equaliser in last night's 2-2 draw against Rangers.

The 18-year-old vaulted over advertising hoardings at Ibrox to celebrate with away fans at Ibrox after netting from the edge of the six-yard box in the 94th minute.

Fourth-placed Hearts, however, can no longer finish third in the league.

Hearts manager Steven Naismith said: "That's disappointing. The club was 11 points clear at one point, and it shouldn't be in this position."

Kuol, loaned to the club in January after joining Newcastle from A-League club Central Coast Mariners, had come off the bench in the 83rd minute.

The forward's previous appearance for the Scottish Premiership club had come on March 11.

Hearts complete their league campaign with a home game against derby rivals Hibernian on Saturday.

Eddie Howe spoke about Kuol's lack of games at Hearts earlier this month.

“I think, whenever you loan a player, you hope they play every game, for a striker, they score loads of goals, they return in a brilliant mental place,” said United's head coach.

“Part of going on loan is that you don’t know what’s going to happen. They have to earn everything they get.

“Sometimes, through a disappointing loan, you can actually respond and learn things about yourself which makes the loan really beneficial. So I’d never look at it as a huge negative.

“But, of course, the loan probably hasn’t gone as we’d have hoped.”
