MAY CRUFT expressed her delight after making her 50th appearance for Rangers during Sunday's 1-0 victory over Hearts at Broadwood Stadium.

The midfielder marked the milestone in style as Rangers continued their impressive run of form, securing all three points thanks to Katie Wilkinson's first-half strike, while also recording a clean sheet.

Speaking to RangersTV, Cruft commented “Yeah, it's an amazing feeling. I didn't actually realise before the game, to find that out was amazing.

“I think it's just a testament to all my teammates and staff that have helped me get to that stage.”

Reflecting on the performance, Cruft acknowledged the challenge posed by Hearts but was pleased with the team's determination to see out the victory and secure another three points.

‘‘it was really good. It was obviously a tough game. By the end, it got a little bit scrappy, but to get the three points is all we wanted.

“I think having Gry [Boe Thrysøe and Jodi [McLeary] alongside me for most of the game was really good and I think we worked well together’’.

Attention now turns to next weekend's highly anticipated Old Firm clash against Celtic, with Cruft keen for Rangers to maintain their momentum and build on the performances they have produced throughout the campaign.

Looking ahead to the fixture, she highlighted the importance of continuing the hard work on the training pitch as the team prepare for another big test.

“I think training's been really good throughout the whole season so far. We'll just keep doing that, push on and hopefully get another win.”
