Rangers International title ambitions took a hit on Matchday 36 of the Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) following a controversial 1-0 loss to Shooting Stars in Ibadan.

The league leaders, who had been enjoying a four-match unbeaten run, were undone by a first-half header from Christian Pyagbara.

The goal ultimately decided the match, despite Rangers’ dominance in possession and their numerous attempts on goal.
