Shola Ameobi proved again he still has a future at Newcastle with a late equaliser to deny Rangers victory in a pre-season clash at Ibrox.

Ameobi, who came on as a 73rd minute substitute for Papis Cisse, was once more the hero for his English Premier League outfit on Tuesday night to cool speculations that the future of the Nigeria international lies outside Saint James’ Park.

This is Ameobi’s fourth goal in his team’s last four pre-season games.

Veteran Lee McCulloch put the home team ahead when he converted a spot kick after Nicky Clark was felled by Fabricio Coloccini’s challenge in the fifth minute.

Substitute Sammy Ameobi will then intercept a pass and feed his older brother Shola, who produced a cheeky dinked finish over Cammy Bell in goal for Glasgow Rangers.
